VIR-2482
VIR-2482 is a monoclonal antibody targeting influenza A hemagglutinin (HA). VIR-2482 is generated by introducing LS mutations (M428L/N434S) into the Fc region of MEDI8852 (HY-P991446). VIR-2482 binds to the conserved HA stem epitope across all 18 influenza A HA subtypes, neutralizes a broad spectrum of H1N1 and H3N2 strains, binds to FcγRIIIa, FcγRIIa and C1q, and induces antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. VIR-2482 reduces morbidity and mortality caused by seasonal influenza A strains and provides prophylactic protection in mice. VIR-2482 can be used in research related to influenza A disease.

In Vitro
VIR-2482 shows that influenza A virus isolates from study participants retain susceptibility to it in vitro, with fold changes in EC50 ranging from 0.23 to 2.55 relative to subtype reference strains[1].
VIR-2482 binds to all 18 influenza A HA subtypes and neutralizes a broad panel of H1N1 and H3N2 viruses spanning nearly 100 years of evolution, with key contact residues showing >98.8% conservation in H1N1 and H3N2 sequences from 2009-2019[2].
VIR-2482 retains the ability to engage human FcγRIIIa, FcγRIIa, and C1q, and maintains functional ADCC and CDC activity in vitro despite containing half-life extending Fc mutations[2].
