Antibody effector functions are required for broad and potent protection of neonates from herpes simplex virus infection

This study shows that both neutralization and effector functions of antibodies are needed for effective protection against neonatal HSV-1, while effector functions alone suffice for HSV-2.

Maternally transferred monoclonal antibodies protect neonatal mice from herpes simplex virus-induced mortality and morbidity

This study shows that HSV-specific monoclonal antibodies transferred from mothers or directly administered to neonatal mice reduce HSV-induced mortality and morbidity.
