Structural basis for broad neutralization of ebolaviruses by an antibody targeting the glycoprotein fusion loop

The Ebola virus glycoprotein is a target for cross-protective antibodies. Here, Janus et al. report the crystal structure of the antigen-binding fragment of a pan-reactive antibody bound to a conserved epitope of the glycoprotein, facilitating rational design of cross-protective vaccines and therape...
