Hemorrhagic fever caused by hantavirus infections leads to several hundred deaths in China every year. In recent years, life-threatening hantavirus variants have also become increasingly common in Europe. The aim of this research project was to obtain human monoclonal antibodies by recombinant means from patients in remission.
