  • Description: <jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>There are no Food and Drug Administration approved drugs available for preventing or treating Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF), and the current treatment option is limited to administration of immune plasma. With the expanding clinical use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for acute and chronic conditions, it has become clear that mAbs offer a highly specific, potent, and generally safe drug platform for antivirals, and may be a useful alternative to immune plasma. Here, we show that mAbs are effective in the Junin virus guinea pig model and likely to be an economical therapy for AHF.</jats:p>
