Abstract excerpt
IgG subclasses differ in their effector functions in a variety of in vitro assays. To assess the effect of antibody subclass differences on in vivo protective efficacy against herpes simplex virus (HSV), a series of subclass switch mutants was made from an anti-HSV glycoprotein D monoclonal antib...
