Antibody affinity maturation in Zika virus (ZIKV)-infected serum and urine to NS1, E, E-dIII. SPR analysis of individual sera (a, c, e) or urine (b, d, f) post-ZIKV infection was performed with purified recombinant NS1 (a, b), ZIKV-E (c, d), and ZIKV-E-domain III (e, f) proteins to determine the dissociation kinetics (off-rates) at different time points post infection. Antibody off-rate constants that describe the fraction of antibody–antigen complexes decaying per second were determined directly from the serum/urine sample interaction with recombinant and NS1, ZIKV-E, ZIKV-E-domain III proteins using SPR in the dissociation phase as described in Methods. Mean values with standard deviation are shown by bar for each group. Antibody off-rates were not calculated for samples with total antibody binding (Max RU shown in Fig. 5) of <10 at 10-fold dilution and is not shown in figure. The statistical significances between each time point (visit days) were determined using two-tailed paired t-test in GraphPad software. p-Values <0.05 were considered significant with a 95% confidence interval. Statistically significant with p-values of <0.005 (**), or <0.001 (***) are shown. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
