Abstract excerpt
One mechanism by which dengue (DEN) virus may cause cell death is apoptosis. In this study, we investigated whether the genetic determinants responsible for acquisition by DEN type 1 (DEN-1) virus of mouse neurovirulence interfere with the induction of apoptosis. Neurovirulent variant FGA/NA d1d was generated during the adaptation of the human isolate of DEN-1 virus strain FGA/89 to grow in newborn mouse brains...
