Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is development of anti-influenza virus drugs that are effective under the immunocompromised condition.We developed human-mouse chimeric anti-influenza virus hemagglutinin antibody with neutralizing activity. Administration of the antibody to immunosuppressed cynomolgus macaques improved survival rates in highly pathogenic avian influenza virus infection, whereas immunosuppressed macaques without the treatment showed severe symptoms. It is expected that the therapy with the developed anti-hemagglutinin antibody would be effective in immunocompromised influenza patients as confirmed in the immunosuppressed macaquemodel.
