A Neutralizing Antibody Targeting gH Provides Potent Protection against EBV Challenge
Article in Journal of virology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an oncogenic herpesvirus that is associated with 200,000 new cases of cancer and 140,000 deaths annually. To date, there are no available vaccines or therapeutics for clinical usage. Recently, the viral heterodimer glycoprotein gH/gL has become a promising target for the development of prophylactic vaccines against EBV. Here, we developed the anti-gH antibody 6H2 and its chimeric version C6H2, which had full neutralizing activity in epithelial cells and partial neutralizing activity in B cells. C6H2 exhibited potent protection against lethal EBV challenge in a humanized mouse model. The cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure further revealed that 6H2 recognized a previously unidentified epitope on gH/gL D-IV that is critical for viral attachment and subsequent membrane fusion with epithelial cells. Our results suggest that C6H2 is a promising candidate in the prevention of EBV-induced lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs) and may inform the design of an EBV vaccine.
