Structure of tick-borne encephalitis virus and its neutralization by a monoclonal antibody

The tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes thousands of cases of meningitis and encephalitis annually. Here, the authors describe a cryo-EM structure of the TBEV virion bound by Fab fragments of the neutralizing antibody 19/1786, revealing a mechanism whereby this antibody prevents virus membra...

Résumé:The tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes thousands of cases of meningitis and encephalitis annually. Here, the authors describe a cryo-EM structure of the TBEV virion bound by Fab fragments of the neutralizing antibody 19/1786, revealing a mechanism whereby this antibody prevents virus membrane fusion.
