Breadth of in vivo prophylactic efficacy in mice. 6–8-wk-old BALB/c mice were treated with 200 µg (10 mg/kg of body weight) EM-4C04, 70-1F02, or 1009-3B06 human mAb intraperitoneally. Control mice were treated with PBS only, a control mAb or polyclonal human IgG. 12 h later, they were challenged with a 3xLD50 dose of mouse adapted pandemic H1N1, PR/8/34, or FM/1/47 influenza virus. All mice were monitored daily for body weight changes and any signs of morbidity and mortality. Percentage of initial body weight (left) and survival curves (right) are plotted. Infected, untreated mice showed clear signs of sickness ∼4–5 d after infection and perished by day 8–9. Figure shows one representative experiments of at least three independent repeat experiments. Antibody treatment conferred significant protection as determined by comparison of weights in untreated versus prophylaxis, and at the time of treatment versus 12 d after infection (unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t test, P < 0.05). The log-rank test indicated significant survival as well (P < 0.003).
