Analysis of a Therapeutic Antibody Cocktail Reveals Determinants for Cooperative and Broad Ebolavirus Neutralization

Immunity, Volume 52, No. 2, Year 2020

Cooperative interactions of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with viral antigens are poorly understood. Gilchuk et al. perform structural and functional analysis of cooperativity in a cocktail of two human mAbs, recognizing major epitopes of ebolavirus glycoprotein (GP), and define cooperative binding of the GP as a mechanism for enhanced ebolavirus neutralization.
