FcγRI is the key determinant of antibody-mediated Zika virus infection of human placental macrophages
2025-10-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Zika virus (ZIKV) can be vertically transmitted from a pregnant mother to the developing fetus, resulting in microcephaly and/or other congenital malformations. Dengue virus (DENV) cross-reactive antibodies can facilitate ZIKV placental transcytosis and enhance ZIKV infection of placenta macrophage-Hofbauer cells through binding to Fc-γ receptors (FcγRs). To understand the role of individual FcγR...
