Efficacious therapeutic treatments for infected patients, as well as prophylactic treatments to prevent new infections are needed for combating ZIKV infection. Here, we report that ZIKV-specific human polyclonal antibodies (SAB-155), elicited in transchromosomal bovine (TcB), provide significant protection from infection by ZIKV in STAT2 knockout (KO) golden Syrian hamsters both prophylactically and therapeutically. These antibodies also prevent testicular lesions in this hamster model. Our data indicate that antibody-mediated immunotherapy is effective in treating ZIKV infection. Because suitable quantities of highly potent human polyclonal antibodies can be quickly produced from the TcB system against ZIKV and have demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in a small animal model, they have the potential as an effective countermeasure against ZIKV infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v11020092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,24]],"date-time":"2019-01-24T03:52:32Z","timestamp":1548301952000},"page":"92","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Human Polyclonal Antibodies Produced from Transchromosomal Bovine Provides Prophylactic and Therapeutic Protections Against Zika Virus Infection in STAT2 KO Syrian Hamsters"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Venkatraman","family":"Siddharthan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"},{"name":"Institute for Antiviral Research, and Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1688-3066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinxin","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pathology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450066, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9611-1316","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arnaud J","family":"Van Wettere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Utah Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory, Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9638-3493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hua","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SAB Biotherapeutics, Sioux Falls, SD 57104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7468-2006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eddie","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SAB Biotherapeutics, Sioux Falls, SD 57104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinan","family":"Jiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SAB Biotherapeutics, Sioux Falls, SD 57104, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jay W.","family":"Hooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virology Division, United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, Fort Detrick, MD 21702, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Safronetz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoonotic Diseases and Special Pathogens, National Microbiology Laboratory, Public Health Agency of Canada, Winnipeg, MB R3E, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John D.","family":"Morrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"},{"name":"Institute for Antiviral Research, and Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin G.","family":"Julander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"},{"name":"Institute for Antiviral Research, and Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2441-4729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhongde","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Sciences, Utah State University, 5600 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2321","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1602412","article-title":"Zika Virus Infection in Pregnant Women in Rio de Janeiro","volume":"375","author":"Brasil","year":"2016","journal-title":"N.
