Antibodies offer potential for West Nile therapy
Researchers identified antibodies that could pave the way for developing a vaccine or treatment for the West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause severe brain inflammation or death. The study showed that the antibody (W010) recognizes and attacks the virus's envelope protein, with the ability to protect mice both before and after exposure to the virus by 5 days. Additionally, the antibody (W014) is effective against similar viruses, such as the Japanese encephalitis virus, opening the door to potential treatments for serious viruses.
