Human monoclonal antibody against hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein

Disclosed is a hybridoma cell line which produces human antibodies capable of binding to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 glycoprotein and capable of neutralizing HCV infection in vivo in an animal model, as well as antibodies produced by the cell line. Also disclosed are various uses of said antibodi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a hybridoma cell line which produces human antibodies capable of binding to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 glycoprotein and capable of neutralizing HCV infection in vivo in an animal model, as well as antibodies produced by the cell line. Also disclosed are various uses of said antibodies in the prevention and treatment of HCV infection. Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from human donors having a high titer of anti HCV E2 antibodies are transformed in vitro by Epstein-Barr virus and then fused with heteromyeloma cells to generate hybridomas secreting human antibodies having ahigh affinity and specificity to HCV E2 glycoprotein.
