Antibodies Against Chikungunya Virus Structural Proteins Reveal the Presence of CHIKV Virions in Migrasomes

Journal of Immunological Methods
Chikungunya fever (CHIKF) is a viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes, caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV), which has led to millions of infections globally. Antibodies against CHIKV serve as essential tools for research on this virus. In this study, we designed peptides corresponding to the E1, E2, E3, and capsid proteins of CHIKV to immunize New
