Characterization of serum anti-diphtheria antibody activity following administration of equine anti-toxin for suspected diphtheria


There is a global shortage of equine-derived diphtheria anti-toxin (DAT) for diphtheria treatment. There are few existing data on serum antibody concentrations and neutralizing activity post-treatment to support development of new therapeutics. Antibody concentrations were quantified by ELISA and anti-toxin neutralizing activity by cytotoxicity assay in serum from 4 patients receiving DAT for suspected diphtheria. Using linear mixed effects modeling, estimated mean (SE) half-life was 78.2 (20.0) hours. Maximum serum neutralizing activity ranged from 28.42–38.64 AU/mL with an estimated mean AUC1–72 of 1396.7 (399.3)
AU/mLhr. These data provide a standard of comparison for development of novel anti-toxins to replace DAT
