Specific and versatile monoclonal antibodies for hantavirus research.

ABSTRACT: Rodent-borne hantaviruses pose a continual public health threat to humans through zoonotic transmission, with case fatality rates of up to 50% in some cases. Human infections can lead to hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome depending on the viral species. Despite the morbidity and mortality associated with this family of viruses, no anti-viral therapeutics or vaccines are available to treat and prevent hantavirus disease. The relative shortage of commercially available reagents to study hantavirus infections in vitro and in vivo likely contributes to the challenges in developing viral countermeasures. This report describes the generation of a panel of mouse monoclonal antibodies that collectively recognize the four viral proteins
