Randomized trial characterizes monoclonal antibodies targeting doisurface proteins of rhesus rotavirus, indicating potential for therapeutic use.

This research aims to isolate and characterize monoclonal antibodies targeting specific surface proteins of rhesus rotavirus.
A series of monoclonal antibodies were isolated against outer capsid proteins of rhesus rotavirus.
Antibodies were tested for immunoprecipitation and neutralization activity against the virus.
Hemagglutination inhibition assays were performed to evaluate functional activity.
Thirty-six monoclonal antibodies were effective in immunoprecipitating the 82-kilodalton outer capsid protein with high titers.
Three monoclonal antibodies targeted the 38-kilodalton outer capsid glycoprotein, demonstrating high neutralization titer.
Hemagglutination inhibition was observed with both types of monoclonal antibodies, indicating functional efficacy.

Greenberg et al. (1983) studied this question.
