A Single Amino Acid in Nonstructural Protein NS4B Confers Virulence to Dengue Virus in AG129 Mice through Enhancement of Viral RNA Synthesis
3 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Dengue (DEN) is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has become an increasing economic and health burden for the tropical and subtropical world. The lack of an appropriate animal model of DEN has greatly impeded the study of its pathogenesis and the development of vaccines/antivirals. We recently reported a DEN virus 2 (DENV-2) strain (D2Y98P) that lethally infects immunocompromised AG129 mice, resulting in organ...
