Abstract
Adeno-associated viral vectors can be used as a platform for delivering biological countermeasures against pandemic and biological threats. We show that vector delivery of two antibody components of the ZMapp product is effective in mice against systemic and airway challenge with a mouse-adapted strain of Ebola virus. This platform provides a generic manufacturing solution and overcomes some of the delivery challenges associated with repeated administration of the protective protein.Entities:
