Abstract

Chikungunya fever, a mosquito-borne disease manifested by fever, rash, myalgia, and arthralgia, is caused by chikungunya virus (CHIKV), which belongs to the genus Alphavirus of the family Togaviridae Anti-CHIKV IgG from convalescent patients is known to directly neutralize CHIKV, and the state of immunity lasts throughout life. Here, we examined the epitope of a neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody against CHIKV, CHE19, which inhibits viral fusion and release. In silico docking analysis showed that the epitope of CHE19 was localized in the viral E2 envelope and consisted of two separate segments, an N-linker and a β-ribbon connector, and that its bound Fab fragment on E2 overlapped the position that the E3 glycoprotein originally occupied. We showed that CHIKV-E2 is lost during the viral internalization and that CHE19 inhibits the elimination of CHIKV-E2. These findings suggested that CHE19 stabilizes the E2-E1 heterodimer instead of E3 and inhibits the protrusion of the E1 fusion loop and subsequent membrane fusion. In addition, the antigen-bound Fab fragment configuration showed that CHE19 connects to the CHIKV spikes existing on the two individual virions, leading us to conclude that the CHE19-CHIKV complex was responsible...Continue Reading
