Abstract The monoclonal antibody VN04-2 was previously shown to protect mice against lethal A Vietnam 1203 04 H5N1 virus challenge when administered pre- and post-infection. In this study we characterized the binding requirements of this antibody using direct binding to hemagglutinin and neutralization assays with H5N1 virus-like particles H5N1-VLP of eight recent H5N1 strains representing the major mutations within the 140s antigenic loop. Binding was clade independent and 3 mutations within this antigenic region are required before escape is possible suggesting that apart from the H5N1 viruses circulating in Indonesia VN04-2 may provide protection against H5N1 viruses from all other regions. Findings In 1997 human disease was first reported due to .
