Deskripsi

Orthobunyaviruses (OBVs) cause severe disease in humans and farm animals, but the molecular basis for infection is not fully understood. Here, the authors present crystal structures of free and antibody-bound OBV envelope glycoproteins and show that their domains enable efficient immunization in a mouse model.
