Abstract

Zhang et al. report the structural and functional analysis of the potent MERS-CoV neutralizing antibody MERS-4. MERS-4 recognizes a unique epitope and indirectly disrupts interaction between the receptor binding domain and the receptor DPP4. This mechanism provides a valuable addition for the combined use of antibodies against MERS-CoV infection.
