Abstract

Neutralizing polyclonal antibody to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been shown to be an effective prophylactic agent when administered intravenously in high-risk infants. This study describes the generation of a humanized monoclonal antibody, MEDI-493, that recognizes a conserved neutralizing epitope on the F glycoprotein of RSV. The affinity of MEDI-493 was found to be equal to or slightly better than an isotype-matched chimeric derivative of the parent antibody. In plaque reduction, microneutralization, and fusion-inhibition assays, MEDI-493 was significantly more potent than the polyclonal preparation. Broad neutralization of a panel of 57 clinical isolates of the RSV A and B subtypes was demonstrated. Pretreatment of cotton rats with MEDI-493 resulted in 99% reduction of lung RSV titers at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, corresponding to a serum concentration of 25-30 microg/mL. Further, MEDI-493 did not induce increased RSV infection or pathology in either a primary or a secondary challenge.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
