Neutralization mechanism of a highly potent antibody against Zika virus

There is a pressing need for therapeutic agents against Zika virus (ZIKV). Here the authors present cryoEM structures of a neutralizing antibody (C10) complexed with ZIKV that show C10 preventing structural changes required for virus entry into the cell, suggesting it might be effective in treating...

Sumario:There is a pressing need for therapeutic agents against Zika virus (ZIKV). Here the authors present cryoEM structures of a neutralizing antibody (C10) complexed with ZIKV that show C10 preventing structural changes required for virus entry into the cell, suggesting it might be effective in treating Zika infections.
