A single residue switch mediates the broad neutralization of Rotaviruses.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) could offer escape-tolerant and lasting protection against viral infections and therefore guide development of broad-spectrum vaccines. The increasing challenge posed by viral evolution and immune evasion intensifies the importance of the discovery of bNAbs and their underlying neutralization mechanism. Here, focusing on the pivotal viral protein VP4 of rotavirus (RV), we identify a potent bNAb, 7H13, exhibiting broad-spectrum neutralization across diverse RV genotypes and demonstrating strong prevention of virus infection in female mice.
