Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide: a monoclonal antibody that makes it possible that adenovirus contained in a test specimen is detected and measured rapidly, simply, and with high-sensitivity; and an immunoassay for adenovirus and an immunoassay device therefor, for both of which the monoclonal antibody is used. The present invention provides: a monoclonal antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, including heavy chains CDR1 to CDR3 as shown in the following (a) to (c) and a light chain CDR1 as shown in the following (d); and an immunoassay and an immunoassay device, for both of which the monoclonal antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof is used; (a) a heavy chain CDR1 composed of an amino acid sequence containing NY; (b) a heavy chain CDR2 composed of an amino acid sequence containing SN; (c) a heavy chain CDR3 composed of an amino acid sequence containing SYY and DY; and (d) a light chain CDR1 composed of an amino acid sequence containing NG.
Abstract: A process is provided for inhibiting or preventing symptoms of necrotizing enterocolitis in a subject that includes the oral administration to the subject of a human polyclonal secretory IgA formed by the conjugation of human recombinant secretory component and pooled human plasma derived dimeric and polymeric. When administered in a therapeutic quantity, symptoms of necrotizing enterocolitis in the subject are inhibited or precluded.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of key residues within mouse IgG3 antibodies (mAbs) that are responsible for intermolecular cooperativity and their transfer into IgG1 antibodies in order to enhance their functional affinity and direct a cell killing.
