“…The RBS interacts with the host receptor NPC1 during entry and is structurally conserved across all filoviruses (Wang et al, 2016). While the RBS has been shown to elicit pan-filoviral antibodies, potency and efficacy is variable because the ebolaviruses require the proteolytic removal of the MLDs and glycan cap to expose the RBS (Bale et al, 2011; Bornholdt et al, 2016a; Miller et al, 2012; Wang et al, 2016), while the marburgviruses do not (Flyak et al, 2015; Gnirss et al, 2012; King et al, 2018). The HR2 domain has also been proposed as a hotspot of filoviral vulnerability (Flyak et al, 2016, 2018; Wec et al, 2017; Ya- mayoshi and Kawaoka, 2017), but antibodies that target this region have limited cross-reactivity.…”
