TY - JOUR AU - Zeitlin, Larry AU - Cone, Richard A. AU - Whaley, Kevin J. T1 - Using Monoclonal Antibodies to Prevent Mucosal Transmission of Epidemic Infectious Diseases T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 1999 VL - 5 IS - 1 SP - 54 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Passive immunization with antibodies has been shown to prevent a wide variety of diseases. Recent advances in monoclonal antibody technology are enabling the development of new methods for passive immunization of mucosal surfaces. Human monoclonal antibodies, produced rapidly, inexpensively, and in large quantities, may help prevent respiratory, diarrheal, and sexually transmitted diseases on a public health scale.
