Review
Recent structural solutions for antibody neutralization of viruses

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0966-842X(97)01049-4Get rights and content

Structural studies of virus-antibody interactions can offer insights into mechanisms of virus neutralization and immune escape. Crystallography and cryoelectron microscopy can reveal the structural relationship between receptor-binding sites and neutralization epitopes, as well as whether molecular rearrangements occur upon antibody binding.

      Use of alternative receptors rendered the RGD dispensable, and a number of viable MAb-escape mutants with amino acid replacements at the RGD were characterized as variants with drastic antigenic alterations (Ruı́z-Jarabo et al., 1999, see Section 2.4, Fig. 4). These results with FMDV reinforce an early concept established with human influenza virus (review in Skehel and Wiley, 2000) that whenever surface amino acids are involved in both cell recognition and antibody binding, co-evolution of antigenicity and host cell tropism may take place, and this has recently been supported by studies with several viruses (Stewart and Nemerow, 1997; Baranowski et al., 2001a). Experimental inoculation of pigs with a clonal preparation of a FMDV type C (C-S8c1) resulted in the recovery of heterogeneous viral populations, as evidenced by the direct selection of monoclonal antibody resistant mutants (MARM) from viral populations present in lesions from infected animals (Carrillo et al., 1990).
