Abstract excerpt
Zika virus (ZIKV) glycoproteins are the primary target of the humoral immune response. In this study, we explored the capacity of these glycoproteins to tolerate insertion of linear epitope sequences and the potential of antibodies that bind these epitopes to inhibit infection. We first created a panel of ZIKV mutants with the FLAG epitope inserted in the premembrane (prM) and envelope (E) glycoprotein regions....
