In Vivo Selection of Respiratory Syncytial Viruses Resistant to Palivizumab
15 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Palivizumab (PZ) is the only monoclonal antibody currently available for use in humans against an infectious disease. PZ is administered prophylactically for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. RSV selected in cell culture for growth in the presence of PZ develops F gene mutations and can be resistant to PZ prophylaxis in cotton rats.
