Top performing mAbs for MARV from human survivors.

Antibody and Source Target Competes with Cross-Binds Cross Neutralizes Protection Reference
MR72 Human IgG1; Survivor from 2014 MARV outbreak in Uganda Receptor-binding site (RBS) near the hydrophobic trough and the apex of GP1 MR78, MR82, MR191 MARV (all strains), EBOV GP MARV (Uganda), RAVV 100% protective in mice (n = 5) against MARV (Uganda) in mice [95]
M78 Human IgG1; Survivor from 2014 MARV outbreak in Uganda Binds to the top and side of GP1 at a shallow angle relative to the central three-fold axis MR72, MR82, MR191 MARV (Uganda) and RAVV MARV (Uganda and Ravn), potentially neutralizes EBOV entry by inhibiting viral membrane fusion downstream from virus receptor recognition 100% protective in guinea pigs against MARV (Angola) and 100% against RAVV [95,97]
MR82 Human IgG1; Survivor from 2014 MARV outbreak in Uganda Binds toward the top and side of GP1 at a shallow angle relative to the central three-fold axis MR72, MR78, MR191 MARV (all strains) MARV (all strains) 40% protective in guinea pigs; however, it was 100% effective in mice [95]
MR191 Human IgG1; Survivor from 2014 MARV outbreak in Uganda RBS near the hydrophobic trough and the apex of GP1 MR72, MR78,
MR82
MARV (Muskoke and Angola), RAVV, EBOV GP (does not neutralize) MARV (Angola and Muskoke) 100% protective against MARV (Angola) and RAVV in guinea pigs. 100% effective in NHPs when treated on day 4 and 7 post infection (MARV Angola). 80% protective on days 5 and 8 post infection of RAVV. Did not protect against GPA-SUDV in guinea pig models 3 dpi [94,95,98]
