The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that bind or neutralize Orthopoxviruses.

A species of ORTHOPOXVIRUS causing infections in humans.

Orthopoxviruses have an outside envelope and a second membrane underneath.

The type species of ORTHOPOXVIRUS, related to COWPOX VIRUS, but whose true origin is unknown.

Described herein is the use of the plant alkaloid berberine to inhibit orthopoxviruses,leporipoxvirus and yatapoxviruses.

Monkeypox is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae.

PHYSICAL INACTIVATION: Orthopoxviruses are inactivated by heat (autoclaving and incineration)(20,21).

Vaccinia virus is the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus, which also includes variola and monkeypox virus.

A series of imidodisulfamide derivatives have been prepared and are useful to treat antiviral infections, especially infections caused by orthopox viruses.

PHYSICAL INACTIVATION: Orthopoxviruses are inactivated by heat (autoclaving and incineration)(20,21).

The Monkeypox has been classified as a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae.

Some are specific for variola virus, and others are for orthopoxviruses in general.

The Monkeypox has been classified as a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae.

The invention provides an immune globulin having a high titre of antibody to Orthopoxvirus, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the immune globulin and methods for making same.
