Description

Zhiding Zhou and six colleagues organize what is known about antibodies accidentally helping coronaviruses infect, in a review from two thousand twenty-six. Antibody-dependent enhancement haunts vaccine design: yesterday's antibodies make today's infection worse, not better. Animal coronaviruses cause heavy livestock losses, yet research on enhancement in them is thin.

The team sorts enhancement mechanisms into two major categories, with five mechanistic subsets inside them. Human coronavirus evidence fills each subset as the case study, and SARS-CoV-2 is the chief source of that evidence. The frame then moves that knowledge to veterinary contexts. To grasp enhancement routes in advance could keep animal vaccines safe and stop them from backfiring in the field. The review maps this field for those who study it.
