The antibody binds to an epitope in gH D-II that overlaps substantially with a region observed to interact with the gp42 HP. In particular the antibody interacts with gH D-II using light chain contacts composed of L-CDR3 with the N-terminal end of gH:2alp

The antibody blocks EBV-mediated membrane fusion with both B cells and epithelial cells and it retains its inhibitory activity as a monomeric Fab. Flow cytometry cell counts showed that Fab fragment inhibits virus entry. Neutralization experiments with epithelial cells using an EBV-GFP reporter virus and purified Fab were performed. Fluorescence images obtained at 24 h postinfection and flow cytometry cell counts showed that the Fab inhibits virus entry. Fab inhibition of cell-cell fusion and EBV infection exhibited similar concentration dependence. (PMID: 28939750) The cell-surface expression of gHgL was evaluated using the antibody by CELISA.
