Abstract

SUMMARY Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) represents a major global health problem. Though it is associated with infectious mononucleosis and over 200,000 cancers annually worldwide, a vaccine is not available. The major target of immunity is EBV glycoprotein 350/220 (gp350) that mediates attachment to B cells through complement receptor 2 (CR2/CD21). Here, we created self-assembling nanoparticles that displayed different domains of gp350 in a symmetric array. By focusing presentation of the CR2-binding domain on nanoparticles, potent neutralizing antibodies were elicited in mice and non-human primates. The structurally designed nanoparticle vaccine improved vaccine-induced protection in a mouse model by targeting a functionally conserved site of vulnerability with 10- to 100-fold increased neutralization compared to soluble gp350. This rational approach to EBV vaccine design elicited potent neutralizing antibody responses by focusing on a conserved viral entry domain, a strategy that can be applied to other viruses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
