Near pan-alphavirus neutralization by an antibody-nanobody bispecific.

Alphaviruses represent a global concern, with some such as chikungunya virus currently infecting thousands in China and others such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus inducing neurological symptoms in 4-14% of infected individuals. Collectively, these results demonstrate near pan-neutralization of human-infecting alphaviruses by an antibody-nanobody bispecific.
