Abstract excerpt
Background: Coxsackievirus A5 (CVA5) is an emerging pathogen associated with severe hand, foot, and mouth disease. Protective antibodies are critical for protection from CVA5 infection, yet the antigenic determinants of CVA5 remain poorly defined. In this study, we aimed to map the conformational neutralizing epitopes of CVA5 using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and escape mutant analysis. Methods: Two IgG, one...
