Abstract •Main •Author informationZika virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus/">virus (ZIKV) is an emerging mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that can cause severe disease, including congenital birth defects during pregnancy1.To develop candidate therapeutic agents against ZIKV, we isolated a panel of human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from subjects with prior ZIKV infection.A subset of mAbs recognized diverse epitopes on the envelope (E) protein and exhibited potently neutralizing activity.
