In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Bottermann et al. (2019) reveal that complement component C4 inhibits adenovirus by inactivating the virus capsid through mechanisms requiring antibody engagement, but not late-acting complement pathways. This antiviral function likely broadly impacts non-enveloped viruses and may help illuminate the process of virus disassembly.
在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中，Bottermann 等人（2019 年）揭示了补体成分 C4 通过需要抗体结合的机制来使病毒衣壳失活，从而抑制腺病毒，但不依赖晚期补体途径。这种抗病毒功能可能广泛影响无包膜病毒，并有助于阐明病毒解体的过程。
