摘要:
The protective effects of passive immunization with two kinds of anti-glycoprotein D (anti-gD) monoclonal antibodies, having different antiviral activities, were investigated in murine herpetic keratitis. One monoclonal antibody, designated MI, had high virus-neutralizing antibody titers, along with undetectable levels of complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC); the other, designated MI2, exhibited extremely low titers of virus-neutralization with high level of CDC and ADCC. When systemically administered 24 hours prior to virus inoculation to the cornea, both Ml and MI2 almost completely prevented the development of stromal keratitis. The protective efficacy of both was observed to be dose-dependent. Pepsin-treated Ml retained its efficacy in suppressing stromal keratitis, whereas pepsin—treated M12 did not. When the administration of Ml and M12 were delayed, both provided significant (but less complete) protection, up to 24 hours after virus inoculation.These results suggest that both virus neutralization and CDC/ADCC play an important role in preventing virus growth in the corneal stroma during the early stage of corneal infection.
