Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies can provide important pre- or post-exposure protection against disease for those not yet vaccinated or in individuals that fail to mount a protective immune response after vaccination. A key concern in use of monotherapy monoclonal antibody products lies in the high risk of mutagenic escape. Inmazeb (REGN-EB3), a three-antibody cocktail against Ebola virus, demonstrated efficacy in lessening disease course and improving survival in a randomized, controlled trial. Here we present the cryoEM structure at 3.1 Å of the Ebola virus glycoprotein, determined without symmetry averaging, in a simultaneous complex with eight Fab fragments of antibodies in the Inmazeb cocktail. This structure allows modeling of previously disordered portions of the glycan cap, maps the non-overlapping epitopes of Inmazeb, and illuminates the basis for complementary activities, as well as residues that are critical for resistance to escape by each component of this cocktail and other clinically relevant antibodies. We also provide direct evidence that, unlike monotherapy treatments, including those targeting conserved epitopes, the Inmazeb protects against the rapid emergence of EBOV escape mutants and supports the benefit of the combination approach.
