Abstract
Anti-H5N1 antibody was determined by microneutralization, hemagglutination inhibition, and Western blotting assays in serial blood samples collected from eight Thai patients, including four fatal cases and four survivors. The antibody was detected as early as 5 days and, typically, with an increase in titer in paired blood at about 15 days after disease onset. The anti-H5 antibody response was long-lasting, for almost 5 years in cases which can be followed that far. In addition, cross-neutralizing activity to related clade 1 viruses was observed.Entities:
