标题: cell:美国科学家成功确认6种寨卡病毒抗体

国际知名杂志《Cell》于2016年7月27日刊文称，研究人员已经成功确认了6种或能预防寨卡病毒感染的抗体。

美国华盛顿大学医学院的研究小组完成了相关实验。专家称，抗体的确认是进行疫苗研发的“重要一步”。这6种抗体都经过试验证实具有抗寨卡病毒的效果，有望使用在寨卡热诊断等不同领域。

论文作者帝布德·弗李蒙多（Daved Fremont）教授表示，本次确认的这6种抗体分别与非洲、亚洲、美洲系统的寨卡病毒株具有相同程度的作用效果。

寨卡病毒可致新生儿小头畸形，主要在巴西、委内瑞拉等中、南美洲国家流行。本次的研究成果将会成为开发孕妇用疫苗的关键。妊娠期女性的免疫系统比较脆弱，因此即使只是少量的病毒也可能带来严重影响，普通人使用的疫苗大多以病原体为原料进行制作，并不适合孕妇使用。

Highlights
•New ZIKV-specific monoclonal antibodies are identified
•Three distinct epitopes on E protein DIII are defined by X-ray crystallography
•DIII lateral ridge antibodies broadly neutralize ZIKV infection and protect in mice

Summary
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy has emerged as a global public health problem because of its ability to cause severe congenital disease. Here, we developed six mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against ZIKV including four (ZV-48, ZV-54, ZV-64, and ZV-67) that were ZIKV specific and neutralized infection of African, Asian, and American strains to varying degrees. X-ray crystallographic and competition binding analyses of Fab fragments and scFvs defined three spatially distinct epitopes in DIII of the envelope protein corresponding to the lateral ridge (ZV-54 and ZV-67), C-C’ loop (ZV-48 and ZV-64), and ABDE sheet (ZV-2) regions. In vivo passive transfer studies revealed protective activity of DIII-lateral ridge specific neutralizing mAbs in a mouse model of ZIKV infection. Our results suggest that DIII is targeted by multiple type-specific antibodies with distinct neutralizing activity, which provides a path for developing prophylactic antibodies for use in pregnancy or designing epitope-specific vaccines against ZIKV.

抗原试剂盒要考虑到与登革及乙脑病毒的交叉
