Anti-Zika virus (Clone ZIKA-5759) is specific for the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of Zika virus.

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy is a global public health problem ¹, linked causally to severe fetal abnormalities ². Prophylactic antibodies may prove useful in treating pregnant patients or for designing epitope-specific vaccines ¹.

ZIKV is a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that encodes a single polyprotein with an ~11 kb positive-sense RNA open reading frame ¹. The polyprotein is cleaved into seven non-structural (NS) proteins and three structural proteins (capsid (C), pre-membrane (prM), and envelope (E)). C forms a nucleocapsid. prM complexes with E to facilitate folding and prevent premature fusion to host membranes. Nonstructural Protein 1 (NS1) plays a crucial role in viral replication and immune evasion ⁶.
