Antibody Structure

Microbiol Spectr. 2014 Apr;2(2). doi: 10.1128/microbiolspec.AID-0012-2013.

Abstract

A brief outline of antibody structure is followed by highlights from several recently determined crystal structures of human, antiviral Fabs. These Fabs all have novel structural features that allow them to potently and broadly neutralize their targets.
