People infected with Zika virus develop durable neutralizing antibodies that prevent repeat infections. In the current study, we characterize a ZIKV-neutralizing human monoclonal antibody isolated from a patient after recovery. Our studies establish a novel site on the viral envelope that is targeted by human neutralizing antibodies. Our results are relevant to understanding how antibodies block infection and to guiding the design and evaluation of candidate vaccines.
