Application Notes

The original antibody (human IgG1) was generated and confirmed to specifically recognize the target via ELISA. A Fab version of it was generated and tested for neutralization. This antibody demonstrated potent in vitro neutralization (IC₅₀ ~ 0.51 µg/mL) and both prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in a murine chronic LCMV model, with complete viral clearance and protection from weight loss. Furthermore, this antibody enabled high-resolution cryoEM of the LCMV GP trimer in both apo and Fab-bound states, defining a quaternary, pre-fusion-specific epitope (Moon-Walker et al., 2023; PMID: 36990092). In vitro, this antibody fully neutralized cell-free LCMV at 5 µg/mL and was used to demonstrate that ~50% of viral spread occurs via antibody-resistant, direct cell-to-cell nanotube transfer (Byford et al., 2024; PMID: 39578605).
