The relative importance of the host immune response to various antigenic and functional sites on the HN glycoprotein of Sendai (6/94) virus for protection in vivo, was evaluated in mice passively immunized with monoclonal antibodies to HN and then intranasally challenged with infectious virus. Five neutralizing monoclonal antibodies reacting with distinct antigenic sites and exhibiting different reactivity patterns were selected. All of them were able to prevent entirely the growth of virus in the lungs of experimental animals injected with appropriate dilutions of monoclonal antibody. The calculation of correlation coefficients between the reduction of virus in the lungs of immunized mice and the amount of antibody, expressed in terms of hemagglutination inhibition, hemolysis inhibition or neutralizing units, showed a high degree of correlation (r = 0.89) with neutralization and a lack of correlation (r = 0.44) with hemagglutination inhibition. In parallel a minimum threshold value for protection equivalent to 2 x 10(3) neutralizing units per mouse was determined independently of the mechanism(s) by which monoclonal antibodies mediated the neutralization of the infectivity. On the HN glycoprotein of Sendai (6/94) virus we could not individualize a critical site for successful immune recognition by antibodies although the characteristics of an "ideal protective monoclonal antibody" have also been defined.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000915 Antibody Affinity A measure of the binding strength between antibody and a simple hapten or antigen determinant. It depends on the closeness of stereochemical fit between antibody combining sites and antigen determinants, on the size of the area of contact between them, and on the distribution of charged and hydrophobic groups. It includes the concept of "avidity," which refers to the strength of the antigen-antibody bond after formation of reversible complexes.
