    M. P. Doyle, J. R. Genualdi, A. L. Bailey, N. Kose, et al. (mBio 13:e00512-22, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00512-22), report on the cloning of a panel of fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against yellow fever virus (YFV). In particular, mAb YFV-136 is endowed with interesting cross-YFV substrain-neutralizing features. The importance of YFV-136 and other mAbs with similar characteristics is related not necessarily only to their possible future use in the clinic but also to their role in a better understanding of the biology of YFV (as well as of other flaviviruses) for the development of effective therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. The emergence and reemergence of different flaviviruses worldwide in the last decades certainly make this a compelling clinical priority.
