This invention relates to a human
monoclonal neutralizing antibody targeting the
metapneumovirus F protein and its applications. It comprises a
heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region, wherein the
heavy chain variable region includes complementary
determinant regions HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3 as shown in SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, and SEQ ID NO:3, respectively; and / or, the light chain variable region includes complementary
determinant regions LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 as shown in SEQ ID NO:4, AAS, and SEQ ID NO:5, respectively. The
metapneumovirus monoclonal neutralizing antibody MV32 of this invention can specifically bind to the
metapneumovirus F
antigen (approximately 0.6 nM) and exhibits good broad-spectrum neutralizing activity against representative strains such as hMPV A1, hMPV B1, and hMPV A2b. It also possesses certain
in vivo protective and preventative effects and can be used for the prevention and treatment of human metapneumovirus infection, showing great application potential.
