Abstract/Summary

Despite the considerable global impact of snakebite envenoming, available treatments remain suboptimal. Here, we report the discovery of a broadly-neutralizing human monoclonal antibody, using a phage display-based cross-panning strategy, capable of reducing the cytotoxic effects (using a mouse myoblast cell line that may demonstrate the impact of venoms on skeletal muscle) of venom phospholipase A2s from three different snake genera from different continents. This highlights the potential of utilizing monoclonal antibodies to potentially compose more effective, safer, and globally accessible polyvalent antivenoms that hopefully can be widely applicable for snakebite envenomings.
