Structural and mechanistic insights into protective non-neutralizing antibodies targeting Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus nucleocapsid protein

This study identifies four antigenic sites on CCHFV NP, showing that protection is independent of head or stalk location. It maps the highly conserved binding epitope of mAb-9D5 in the head domain, enabling broad-spectrum efficacy and opening the door for effective combination therapies.
