title: Immunoglobulin A monoclonal antibodies protect against Sendai virus.
abstract: Immunoglobulin A anti-Sendai virus HN protein monoclonal antibodies, generated via a mucosal immunization protocol, were shown to neutralize virus in vitro and, when passively administered to the mouse respiratory tract, to protect against Sendai virus in vivo. Thus, immunoglobulin A antibodies by themselves can protect against respiratory virus infection.
