The nucleocapsid of a virus, which consists of the capsid enclosing the viral nucleic acid, can be a target for antibody therapies. When a virus infects a host, its nucleocapsid becomes exposed to the immune system, triggering the production of antibodies specific to proteins present on the nucleocapsid's surface, preventing the virus from entering host cells, disrupting its replication cycle, or marking it for destruction by other components of the immune system.
