Characterization of Dengue Virus Complex-Specific Neutralizing Epitopes on Envelope Protein Domain III of Dengue 2 Virus
19 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
The surface of the mature dengue virus (DENV) particle is covered with 180 envelope (E) proteins arranged as homodimers that lie relatively flat on the virion surface. Each monomer consists of three domains (ED1, ED2, and ED3), of which ED3 contains the critical neutralization determinant(s). In this study, a large panel of DENV-2 recombinant ED3 mutant proteins was used to physically and biologically map the...
