Abstract:
The library of human scFv antibodies displayed on the surface of bacteriophages was panned against Vaccinia virus (VACV), strain Elstree. 75% binding with Vaccinia virus. 5 clones were characterized for their binding with VACV and their ability to neutralize VACV in plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). Antibodies from the clones were obtained as soluble individual molecules and their binding activities were confirmed in ELISA.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
