In-vitro and RAW 264.7 cellsPseudomonas aeruginosaAntibody RS2-1G9 generated against a 3-oxo-dodecanoyl homoserine lactone analog haptenTargeting the bacterial N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl homoserine lactone moleculesProtect murine bone marrow-derived macrophages from the cytotoxic effects and also prevented the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38.[100]
In-vitro Pseudomonas aeruginosaAntibody XYD-11G2Hydrolyzing N-3-(oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactoneSuppressed QS signaling.[101]
In-vitro and mouse modelStaphylococcus aureusAntibody AP4-24H11 elicited against a rationally designed haptenSequestration of the autoinducing peptide-4Suppressed S. aureus pathogenicity in an abscess formation mouse model in vivo and provided complete protection against a lethal Staphylococcus aureus challenge.[103]
