— To generate a panel of antibodies against ZIKV, we serially infected Irf3/ mice 30 days apart with ZIKV MR-766 (Uganda, 1947) and ZIKV H/PF/2013 (French Polynesia, 2013). Irf3/ mice were used instead of wild-type (WT) mice, because ZIKV strains are deficient in evading type I interferon-mediated imm…
