Fig. 3

The capacity of RVFV-268 and RVFV-140 to neutralize RVFV strain MP-12 was tested on A HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney), B SH-SY5Y (human neuroblastoma), or C HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma) cell lines. Antibody solutions were serially diluted and mixed with 100 infectious units of RVFV strain MP-12 for 1 h at 37 °C. The mixture was added to cells and allowed to incubate for 72 h. Cells were fixed and stained. Foci were counted using a C.T.L. spot counter instrument. The experiment was performed in technical triplicate with three independent experiments. Values are expressed as a percentage of foci in no-antibody controls and mAb CCHF-245 was used as the isotype-matched negative control antibody. The MP-12 neutralization assay was performed twice with three technical replicates in each assay. Results were similar between biological replicates; data shown are the IC50 values of combined data from two independent experiments. IC50 values were calculated using a three-parameter nonlinear fit. Data are presented as mean values +/− SD. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
