	An infiltrating ductal carcinoma of human breast origin is seen invading the breast tissue. The cytoplasm of the tumor cells is stained brown with a monoclonal antibody, which recognizes a carcinoembryonic type antigen (CEA) found within the malignant cells. The monoclonal antibody was developed at the NCI laboratory of Dr. Jeffery Schlom. Magnification is 313x. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Health		Current prevention options include good infection-control practices, RSV-IGIV, and an anti-RSV humanized murine monoclonal antibody. (references)
		RSV-IGIV or the anti-RSV humanized murine monoclonal antibody can be given during the RSV outbreak season to prevent serious complications of infection in some infants and children at high risk for serious RSV disease (e.g., those with chronic lung disease and prematurely born infants with or without chronic lung disease). (references)
		There are currently no agents available for blocking the action of IL-2. However, several anti-TNF agents have been developed, including a humanized murine monoclonal antibody to TNF alpha and a fusion protein of recombinant 75 kd receptor and the Fc portion of human IgG. These agents have failed to prove useful in sepsis resulting from microorganisms other than hantaviruses. (references)
