Specificity: Anti-Zika virus (Clone ZIKA-4499) is specific for Zika virus envelope (E) protein. Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy is a global public health problem 1, linked causally to severe fetal abnormalities 2. Prophylactic antibodies may prove useful in treating pregnant patients or for designing epitope-specific vaccines 1. ZIKV is a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that encodes a single polyprotein with an ~11 kb positive-sense RNA open reading frame 1. The polyprotein is cleaved into seven non-structural (NS) proteins and three structural proteins (capsid (C), pre-membrane (prM), and envelope (E)). C forms a nucleocapsid. prM complexes with E to facilitate folding and prevent premature fusion to host membranes. E is responsible for viral assembly, attachment, entry, and fusion 1,3 and is a major target of neutralizing antibody research 3. Mature ZIKV virions incorporate 180 copies each of the E and M proteins 4,5.
