Abstract

Exposure to multiple mosquito-borne flaviviruses within a lifetime is not uncommon; however, how sequential exposures to different flaviviruses shape the cross-reactive (CR) humoral response against an antigen from a different serocomplex has yet to be explored. Here, we report that dengue-infected individuals initially primed with the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) showed broadly highly neutralizing potencies against the Zika virus (ZIKV). We also identified a rare class of ZIKV CR human monoclonal antibodies (huMAbs) with increased somatic hypermutation and broad neutralization against multiple flaviviruses. One huMAb, K8b, binds quaternary epitopes with heavy and light chains separately interacting with overlapping E dimer units spanning domains I, II, and III through cryo-electron microscopy and structure-based mutagenesis. Using JEV virus-like particle (VLP) immunization in mice further confirmed that such CR antibodies, mainly IgG3 isotype, can be induced and proliferate through heterologous DENV-2 VLP stimulation. Our findings provide novel insights for future vaccination strategies.

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.
