Requirements for Successful Vaccines to Viral Pathogens

Successful vaccines to viral pathogens largely rely on the induction of functional antibody responses to effectively protect the host from infection (Plotkin 2010, 2013). While antibodies can aid host protection through a multitude of Fc-mediated functions, e.g., via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), the most importan
