Does not yet alter IVIG use in EV71; hypothesis-generating for ADE role in severe human disease.
Sub-neutralizing antibodies can enhance EV71 infection in vitro and in vivo, suggesting antibody-dependent enhancement may contribute to the pathogenesis of severe EV71 infection.
Han et al. (2011) studied this question.
