In vitro HBV infection and neutralization were assayed using an anti-preS1 murine monoclonal antibody (1B3) and anti-preS2 (H69K) and anti-S (CS131A) murine-human chimeric antibodies. The 1B3 (IgG1) and H69K (IgG1) was constructed previously and the CS131A was constructed for this study by expressin

โฆ Synopsis
A T-2 toxin specific monoclonal antibody, IgGl K, with a low level of ELISA cross-reactivity to Acetyl T-2, HT-2, and is0 T-2 toxins has been produced. The ability of this monoclonal antibocly to neutralize the cytotoxicity of T-2 toxin in PHA stimulated cultures of human lymphocytes was determined by the M l l method. The complete neutralization of the toxic effect of 0.02 pM T-2 toxin was obtained with 0.03 pM of MoAb, whereas the 50% neutralizing dose ( ND, , ) was observed at 0.009 of MoAb. Partial neutralization was observed with Acetyl T-2 toxin ( ND, , = 0.038 @d) and HT-2 ( ND, = 0.94 pM). These results could represent a rational for clinical use of T-2 toxin specific monoclonal antibody in prophylaxis and therapy of T-2 toxemia.

Minute amounts of the anti-L3T4 antibody designated GK1.5 were found to deeply suppress in vivo antibody responses to T-dependent antigens. Primary responses to sheep erythrocytes were completely inhibited even when GK1.5 was administered up to 6 days before or 4 days after the antigen. Secondary re

We describe a novel version of antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT), with the use of amygdalin as prodrug. Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside, which can be cleaved by sweet almond โค-glucosidase to yield free cyanide. If amygdalin could be activated specifically at th
