Capturing a virus while it catches its breath

Structure. 2012 Feb 8;20(2):200-2. doi: 10.1016/j.str.2012.01.014.

Abstract

The four serotypes of dengue virus present a formidable challenge for the development of efficacious human vaccines. Cockburn and colleagues, in this issue of Structure, describe the structural basis of a cross-reactive neutralizing antibody, providing greater insight into immune protection and pathogenesis.
