Development of a humanized monoclonal antibody with therapeutic potential against West Nile virus E protein by nickel-affinity chromatography (data not shown). 24 ), yet was virus specific, as it neither recognized nor neutralized other flaviviruses including distantly related dengue and yellow fever viruses (data not shown) and closely related Japanese and St. Louis encephalitis viruses (Supplementary Table 2 Figure 1 Mapping of monoclonal antibodies to DIII with yeast. None of the mutations identified by loss-of-binding sorts for E2 or E22 had any effect on two other non-neutralizing monoclonal Individual WNV-specific monoclonal antibodies (25 µg/ml) were mixed with yeast that displayed wild-type or mutant DIII on their surface. To determine whether human antibodies specific for WNV recognize the neutralizing epitope on DIII during infection, plasma was obtained from WNV-positive individuals. ./cache/cord-048239-oluq7v0h.txt ./txt/cord-048239-oluq7v0h.txt
