Inhibition of the binding of Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) to its cellular receptor can abrogate the downstream toxin-mediated deleterious effects of the anthrax toxin. A fully human monoclonal antibody against B. anthracis PA, PAmAb, was previously shown to provide a survival advantage in rabbit and monkey models of inhalational anthrax.
