Pandemic concerns have arisen due to the increased human-to-human transmission and high mortality rate, highlighting the urgent need for specific therapeutics. METHODS: Our observational study characterized the memory B cell response to natural SFTSV infection in four survivors. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the SFTSV glycoprotein N (Gn) were ...METHODS: Our observational study characterized the memory B cell response to natural SFTSV infection in four survivors. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the SFTSV glycoprotein N (Gn) were isolated and tested for in vitro neutralizing activities and effects on virus binding. Structural analysis was performed to identify neutralizing epitopes recognized by the mAbs. Prophylactical and therapeutical protections were evaluated using a lethal SFTSV infection model. FINDINGS: The selected mAbs exhibiting neutralizing activity primarily originate from the IGHV5-51 and IGHV3-30 germlines and target four distinct antigenic sites on SFTSV Gn. These elite mAbs ...FINDINGS: The selected mAbs exhibiting neutralizing activity primarily originate from the IGHV5-51 and IGHV3-30 germlines and target four distinct antigenic sites on SFTSV Gn. These elite mAbs effectively blocked the interaction between Gn and the cell receptor, preventing infections from five phylogenetically distinct SFTSV clades. Structural analysis revealed a novel neutralizing epitope located within SFTSV Gn domain I recognized by the elite mAbs. In mice of lethal infections with different SFTSV strains, administering a low dose of elite mAbs significantly improved survival rates in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings. INTERPRETATION: This study identifies potent broadly neutralizing antibodies that holds promise for use in humans against SFTSV infection and highlights inhibition of receptor binding as a crucial ...INTERPRETATION: This study identifies potent broadly neutralizing antibodies that holds promise for use in humans against SFTSV infection and highlights inhibition of receptor binding as a crucial mechanism for effective antibody-mediated neutralization against phleboviruses.

In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
