RESUMO
We identified several types of neutralization effected by F and G protein monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reacted individually or as mixtures against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Neutralizing activity was identified by a microneutralization test in which virus replication was determined by enzyme immunoassay. Complete neutralization was seen only with MAbs against the F protein. Strain-specific neutralization, complete neutralization against some strains of RSV, and no neutralization against other strains were seen with an additional MAb against the F protein. Partial neutralization, virus replication significantly reduced but still present, and no neutralization were seen with MAbs against both the F and G proteins. Enhanced neutralization, enhanced efficacy of neutralization, or increased neutralizing titer with a mixture of two MAbs over that for the individual MAbs was seen with all MAbs against the F protein and all but three MAbs against the G protein. Most (10 of 13) of the MAbs that exhibited neutralizing activity reacted with some but not all strains of RSV in an enzyme immunoassay. The epitopes corresponding to these 10 MAbs probably contribute to the strain-specific component of the neutralizing antibody response to RSV. Our results suggest that interpretation of RSV neutralization with MAbs is complex and that studies of such neutralization should include mixtures of MAbs and multiple RSV strains.
