The present invention discloses a monoclonal antibody 14F8 against Nipah virus envelope glycoprotein. The antibody has a unique CDR region and has a binding titer of 0.47 ng / mL with the Nipah virus envelope glycoprotein, and when an antibody concentration is greater than 9.14 ng / mL, an ELISA OD value is greater than 2.0, indicating excellent antigen binding activity. The antibody has a binding titer of 129.66 ng / mL with Hendra virus envelope glycoprotein, and when the antibody concentration is 20,000 ng / mL, the OD value is only 0.29, indicating the 14F8 can be used for detection of the Nipah virus envelope glycoprotein and can effectively distinguish the Nipah virus envelope glycoprotein and the Hendra virus envelope glycoprotein. The present invention also discloses an application of the14F8 monoclonal antibody in preparation of drugs for treating Nipah virus diseases, the antibody can effectively inhibit binding of the Nipah virus envelope glycoprotein to a cellular receptor EFNB2,an IC50 value is 50 ng / mL, besides, neutralizing activity is enhanced with increase of the antibody concentration, and when the antibody concentration exceeds 1 [mu]g / ml, an inhibition rate tends to reach 100%, indicating a prospect of the 14F8 monoclonal antibody as a candidate therapeutic antibody for the Nipah virus diseases.
