A potent protective bispecific nanobody targeting Herpes simplex virus gD reveals vulnerable epitope for neutralizing

Abstract Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes significant health burden worldwide. Currently used antiviral drugs are effective but resistance can occur. Here, we report two high-affinity neutralizing nanobodies, namely Nb14 and Nb32, that target non-overlapping epitopes in HSV gD. Nb14 binds a neutral...
