Rafivirumab  (Synonyms: CR57)

Rafivirumab (CR57) is an anti-rabies virus monoclonal antibody for the prophylaxis of rabies. Rafivirumab has neutralizing potency against a broad spectrum of RABV variants. Rafivirumab can be used for research of cocktails^[1][2][3].

Rafivirumab shows neutralization effect against series of RABV isolates^[2].
Rafivirumab binds to antigenic site I of the RABV glycoprotein^[3].
Rafivirumab fully neutralizs the wild type ERA₄₃₉ and N336D R346K with EC₅₀ ranging between 3 and 5 pg/mL^[3].
