Staphylococci are the main cause of nosocomial infections globally. The exotoxin staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) produced by methicillin-resistant is a major cause of pathology after a staphylococcal infection. We previously isolated an anti-SEB human monoclonal antibody designated as M0313. Here we further characterize this antibody in vitro and in vivo. Immunoblotting analysis and ELISA results indicated that M0313 accurately recognized and bound to SEB. Its binding affinity to native SEB was measured at the low nM level. M0313 effectively inhibited SEB from inducing mouse splenic lymphocyte and human peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation and cytokine release in cell culture. M0313 also neutrali... More
