A study has identified how antibodies stop hantavirus from entering cells. The finding explains the process by which the body's antibodies prevent the virus from getting in.
Context
Antibodies are proteins the immune system makes to recognise and neutralise invaders such as viruses. Hantavirus is a group of viruses that can infect people, and knowing how antibodies block it can guide future treatments.
