Recognition of hAd5-ZKV antigens by polyclonal human anti-ZIKV antibody response. Uninfected and ZIKV Vero cells, as well as uninfected and hAd5-ZKV-infected 293 cells, were probed with human serum from subjects that had a naturally acquired ZIKV infection, demonstrating recognition of ZIKV E antigens by the human immune response. (A) Serum from a flavivirus-naïve individual was used as a control, with staining for Ad5 hexon protein apparent. (B)–(D) Serum from three human positive subjects after 9–12 months after a ZIKV-positive test showed staining for E and hAd5 hexons.
