Antibodies offer potential for West Nile treatment
Researchers have identified antibodies that could open new possibilities for treating West Nile Virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes severe brain inflammation that can lead to death. Studies have shown that the antibody named (W010) attacks a protein on the virus's envelope and helps protect against the infection. It successfully protected mice whether administered before exposure or up to five days afterward. Additionally, the researchers confirmed that the antibody (W014) extends its effectiveness to similar viruses, which may contribute to the development of multiple treatments for serious viral diseases.
