Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedWe have determined the crystal structure of broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) AP33 bound to a peptide corresponding to hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 envelope glycoprotein antigenic site 412-423. Comparison with bnAb HCV1 bound to the same epitope reveals a different angle of approach to the antigen by bnAb AP33, and slight variation in its beta-hairpin conformation of the epitope. These structures establish two different modes of binding to E2 that antibodies adopt to neutralize diverse HCV.
