Abstract

Highlights: [•] Neutralising mechanism of potent therapeutic monoclonal BoNT/A antibody is exhibited. [•] Single mutation G1292R eliminates interaction of BoNT/A with all three SV2 isoforms. [•] Proof for neuronal uptake of BoNT/A by a double receptor mechanism. [•] Inactive quintuple BoNT/A mutant represents ideal antigen for vaccination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
