Recombinant Dengue Type 2 Viruses with Altered E Protein Domain III Epitopes Are Efficiently Neutralized by Human Immune Sera
26 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Humans develop polyclonal, serotype-specific neutralizing antibody responses after dengue virus (DENV) infection. Many mouse antibodies that neutralize DENV bind to the lateral ridge or A strand epitopes on domain III of the viral envelope (EDIII) protein. It has been assumed that these epitopes are also the main target of human neutralizing antibodies. Using recombinant dengue serotype 2 viruses with altered...
