ABSTRACT
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 NS1antibody complexes reveal their mechanism of neutralization.
