NCIt definition : A neutralizing, human monoclonal antibody against the hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 envelope
glycoprotein, with potential immunomodulatory and antiviral activities against HCV.
Upon administration, anti-HCV E2 monoclonal antibody MBL-HCV1 recognizes and binds
to the E2 glycoprotein of HCV. This suppresses HCV load and provides passive immunization
against HCV. This may prevent both infection by HCV in immunocompromised patients
and hepatitis C-related liver disease. HCV is a small, enveloped, single-stranded
RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family.;
