Deskripsi
The treatment of snakebite envenoming is currently suboptimal. Existing antivenoms often lack efficacy and may cause adverse reactions. Here, the authors derive, develop, and demonstrate the utility of toxin-specific broadly-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies with established reactivity across related venom toxins from different snake species and show efficacy in rodent models.
