Abstract

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.
