Potent neutralizing activity associated with anti-glycoprotein D specificity among monoclonal antibodies selected for binding to herpes simplex virions.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Thirty-three monoclonal antibodies were selected for ability to bind to purified virions of herpes simplex virus and were shown by immunoprecipitation to react with one or another of the envelope glycoproteins. Only six of these antibodies exhibited potent neutralizing activity, and all six were specific for glycoprotein D. Two other anti-glycoprotein D antibodies and 25 antibodies specific for four other viral glycoproteins had much less potent, if any, neutralizing activity.
