Motavizumab (MEDI-524) is an anti-human RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) monoclonal antibody. Motavizumab can be used in respiratory syncytial virus infection in high-risk infants research[1].
Motavizumab shows activity after F protein initiates interaction with the cell membrane and before virus transcription[2].
Motavizumab inhibits F protein-mediated cell-to-cell fusion[2].
Motavizumab (intraperitoneal injection; 1.25 mg in 0.1 ml of PBS/per mouse; once) treatment shows reductions on RSV replication and concentrations of cytokine and chemokines in RSV-infected mice[1].
