In vitro neutralization of low dose inocula at physiological concentrations of a monoclonal antibody which protects macaques against SHIV challenge.

BACKGROUND: Passive transfer of antibodies can be protective in the simian human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV)--rhesus macaque challenge model. The human monoclonal antibody IgG1 b12 neutralizes human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) in vitro and protects against challenge by SHIV. Our hypothesis is...
