Abstract A mouse model was designed to test in vivo the efficacy of rabies immune globulins and specific neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to prevent European bat lyssavirus 1 infection. Human or equine rabies immune globulins previously found to contain variable amounts of neutralizing bat lyssavirus crossreactive antibodies were passively transferred to mice receiving intramuscularly a lethal dose of bat lyssavirus type 1. Immune globulins did not protect mice well against bat lyssavirus 1 whereas they reduced the mortality caused by rabies virus. In contrast, mice inoculated with bat lyssavirus 1 or rabies virus survived when passively immunized with bat lyssavirus 1 specific monoclonal antibody (mAb 8-2). This monoclonal antibody, an IgG2 alpha, recognized an epitope located in the antigenic site IIa of rabies glycoprotein. A mutation replacing the lysine 198 by glutamate in a rabies variant abrogated sensitivity to this neutralizing antibody. Because of its broad neutralizing spectrum against wild virus isolates, including European bat lyssaviruses, this monoclonal antibody should be a good candidate for rabies immune globulin replacement. It could improve efficacy of rabies vaccination, used either alone or in conjunction with human rabies immune globulins or monoclonal antibody cocktail to supplement their lack of crossreactivity to European bat lyssavirus 1.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
