Humanized antibodies for antiviral therapy.
Antibody therapy holds great promise for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections. Murine monoclonal antibodies are relatively easy to produce but are severely restricted for therapeutic use by their immunogenicity in humans. Production of human monoclonal antibodies has been problematic. Humanized antibodies can be generated by introducing the six hypervariable regio...
متن کاملAntiviral Therapy by HIV-1 Broadly Neutralizing and Inhibitory Antibodies
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a global epidemic for more than three decades. HIV-1 replication is primarily controlled through antiretroviral therapy (ART) but this treatment does not cure HIV-1 infection. Furthermore, there is increasing viral resistance to ART, and side effects associated with long-term therapy. Conseq...
متن کاملProduction of humanized monoclonal antibodies for in vivo imaging and therapy.
Introduction Human immunoglobulins as intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) have important uses in immunodeficiency disorders and hyperimmune sera are used to a small extent for prophylaxis of severely immunocompromised patients against hospital-acquired infections [ 13 and neonatal infections. Such sera, however, have to be derived from volunteers who have high titres of effective antibodies acqu...
متن کاملCRM1 Inhibitors for Antiviral Therapy
Infectious diseases are a major global concern and despite major advancements in medical research, still cause significant morbidity and mortality. Progress in antiviral therapy is particularly hindered by appearance of mutants capable of overcoming the effects of drugs targeting viral components. Alternatively, development of drugs targeting host proteins essential for completion of viral life...
متن کاملAntiviral therapy for human rabies.
Human rabies is virtually always fatal despite numerous attempts at aggressive therapy. Most survivors received one or more doses of rabies vaccine prior to the onset of the disease. The Milwaukee Protocol has proved to be ineffective for rabies and should no longer be used. New approaches are needed and an improved understanding of basic mechanisms responsible for the clinical disease in rabie...
