Abstract excerpt
Sub-neutralizing concentrations of antibody to dengue virus (DENV) enhance DENV infection of Fc gamma receptor-expressing cells. This phenomenon, referred to as antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), has been hypothesized to be responsible for the severe form of DENV infection, including dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. To analyse further the mechanisms of ADE in vitro, this study introduced a...
