INFLUENZA A VIRUS-SPECIFIC MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY AND METHOD FOR TREATING AND DIAGNOSING INFLUENZA INFECTION USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an influenza A virus-specific monoclonal antibody and a method for treating and diagnosing an influenza infection using the same, and more specifically, an influenza A virus hemagglutinin (HA)-specific monoclonal antibody and a method for treating and diagnosing an influenza A virus infection using the antibody, wherein the influenza A virus hemagglutinin (HA)-specific monoclonal antibody may have high affinity with HA antigen to thereby be utilized as a composition for treating or diagnosing an influenza A virus, and since an amount of the antibody to be used at the time of performing ELISA for detecting or quantifying the HA antigen is small, the cost may be decreased as compared to the existing SRID method, and therefore, the influenza A virus hemagglutinin (HA)-specific monoclonal antibody according to the present invention may be utilized for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method for quantifying the influenza HA antigen to substitute for the existing SRID method or to combine with the existing SRID method.
