Monoclonal antibody MAB-T88 is a human monoclonal immunoglobulin M antibody directed at the lipopolysaccharide of gram-negative bacteria. In this study, nine patients who were expected to become neutropenic from antineoplastic chemotherapy received an infusion of MAB-T88, three patients at each of three doses: 1, 4, and 8 mg/kg of body weight. MAB-T88 was shown to be safe, with an effective half-life in plasma of 25.4 h, and no patient developed immunoglobulin G antibody to MAB-T88.
