Identification by phage display and characterization of two neutralizing chimpanzee monoclonal antibodies to the hepatitis E virus capsid protein.
description:
Two monoclonal antibodies against the ORF2 protein of the SAR-55 strain of hepatitis E virus were isolated by phage display from a cDNA library of Pan troglodytes gamma1/κ antibody genes. MAbs were mixed with HEV SAR-55 in vitro and then inoculated into rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) to determine their neutralizing ability. Whereas all control animals developed hepatitis (elevated liver enzyme levels in serum) and seroconverted to HEV, those receiving an inoculum incubated with either HEV#4 or HEV#31 were not infected.
