Protective effect of monoclonal antibodies on lethal mouse hepatitis virus infection in mice.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Neutralizing and nonneutralizing monoclonal antibodies to the peplomer glycoprotein and nucleocapsid protein of a mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), MHV-NuU, protected mice against lethal MHV-2 challenge. Histopathologically, livers of mice receiving protective antibodies showed some focal necrotic lesions with remarkable cellular infiltration instead of fulminant hepatitis caused by MHV-2.
