In Vivo Delivery of a DNA-Encoded Monoclonal Antibody Protects Non-human Primates against Zika Virus.


ABSTRACT: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is endemic to several world regions, and many others are at high risk for seasonal outbreaks. Synthetic DNA-encoded monoclonal antibody (DMAb) is an approach that enables in vivo delivery of highly potent mAbs to control infections. We engineered DMAb-ZK190, encoding the mAb ZK190 neutralizing antibody, which targets the ZIKV E protein DIII domain. In vivo-delivered DMAb-ZK190 achieved expression levels persisting >10 weeks in mice and >3 weeks in non-human primate (NHPs), which is protective against ZIKV infectious challenge. This study is the first demonstration of infectious disease control in NHPs following in vivo delivery of a nucleic acid-encoded antibody, supporting the importance of this new platform.
