Alanine scanning mutagenesis of the MEDI4839 (Suvratoxumab) epitope reduces alpha toxin lytic activity <i>in vitro</i> and <i>S. aureus</i> fitness in infection models
2018-05-16
Abstract excerpt
Alpha toxin (AT) is a cytolytic pore-forming toxin that plays a key role in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis, consequently extensive research was undertaken to understand the AT mechanism of action and its utility as a target for novel prophylaxis and treatment strategies against S. aureus infections. MEDI4893 (Suvratoxumab) is a human anti-AT IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), which targets AT and is currently i...
