Description:
Human antibodies targeting Zika virus NS1 provide protection against disease in a mouse model Human antibodies targeting Zika virus NS1 provide protection against disease in a mouse model, Published online: 01 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-07008-0 Zika virus infection can cause severe disease in humans and there are currently no specific treatments or vaccines.
