As comparative ELISA in this and previous studies 29 showed that residues N48 and T49 in NS1(RBD) are important for the interaction with mAb 2H6, they were defined as active residues involved in the binding interaction to generate a series of models of the NS1(RBD) and 2H6-Fab complex. Overall, the predicted model from cluster 2 is consistent with our comparative ELISA data and suggests that residues N48 and T49 are important for the binding between NS1(RBD) and 2H6-Fab because their side-chains could make hydrogen bonds with residues in the VH-CDR2 of the Fab. In addition, R44 of NS1(RBD) was distal from the antibody-antigen interface, which is consistent with the results from comparative ELISA ( Figure S1 ) showing that substitution of R44 of NS1(RBD) with K did not affect its interaction with mAb 2H6. ./cache/cord-344871-486sk4wc.txt ./txt/cord-344871-486sk4wc.txt
