The flavivirus genus consists of several major human pathogens including dengue (DENV) and Zika viruses. The flavivirus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) plays an important role in disease progression, for example, in the development of severe dengue disease. Anti-NS1 antibodies have been shown to confer protection, and two new studies by Biering et al. and Modhiran et al. on the structure of NS1:antibody complexes reveal their mechanism of neutralization.
黄病毒属包括几种主要的人类病原体,包括登革热(DENV)和寨卡病毒。黄病毒非结构蛋白 1(NS1)在疾病进展中起着重要作用,例如在重症登革热的发展中。抗 NS1 抗体已被证明具有保护作用,Biering 等人和 Modhiran 等人的两项关于 NS1:抗体复合物结构的新研究揭示了它们的中和机制。
