  abstract     = {Influenza A virus infections impose a recurrent and global disease burden. Current antivirals against influenza are not always effective. We assessed the protective potential of monovalent and bivalent Nanobodies (Ablynx) against challenge with this virus. These Nanobodies were derived from llamas and target H5N1 hemagglutinin. Intranasal administration of Nanobodies effectively controlled homologous influenza A virus replication. Administration of Nanobodies before challenge strongly reduced H5N1 virus replication in the lungs and protected mice from morbidity and mortality after a lethal challenge with H5N1 virus. The bivalent Nanobody was at least 60-fold more effective than the monovalent Nanobody in controlling virus replication. In addition, Nanobody therapy after challenge strongly reduced viral replication and significantly delayed time to death. Epitope mapping revealed that the VHH Nanobody binds to antigenic site B in H5 hemagglutinin. Because Nanobodies are small, stable, and simple to produce, they are a promising, novel therapeutic agent against influenza.},
