Polyclonal alpaca antibodies protect against hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in a lethal Syrian hamster model
Abstract The use of antibody-based therapies for the treatment of high consequence viral pathogens has gained interest over the last fifteen years. Here, we sought to evaluate the use of unique camelid-based IgG antibodies to prevent lethal hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in Syrian hamsters. Usi...
