Variable Surface Epitopes in the Crystal Structure of Dengue Virus Type 3 Envelope Glycoprotein
21 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus is an emerging global health threat. The major envelope glycoprotein, E, mediates viral attachment and entry by membrane fusion. Antibodies that bind but fail to neutralize noncognate serotypes enhance infection. We have determined the crystal structure of a soluble fragment of the envelope glycoprotein E from dengue virus type 3. The structure closely resembles those of E proteins from dengue type 2...
