Abstract excerpt
While potent monoclonal antibodies against ricin were introduced over the years, the question whether increasing antibody affinity enables better toxin neutralization was not fully addressed yet. The aim of this study was to characterize the contribution of antibody affinity to the ricin neutralization potential of the antibody. cHD23 monoclonal antibody that targets the toxin B-subunit and interferes with its...
