Mapping to completeness and transplantation of a group-specific, discontinuous, neutralizing epitope in the envelope protein of dengue virus
13 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Dengue is caused by a taxonomic group of four viruses, dengue virus types 1-4 (DENV1-DENV4). A molecular understanding of the antibody-mediated protection against this disease is critical to design safe vaccines and therapeutics. Here, the energetic epitope of antibody mAb4E11, which neutralizes the four serotypes of DENV but no other flavivirus, and binds domain 3 (ED3) of their envelope glycoprotein, was...
