The Magnitude of Dengue Virus NS1 Protein Secretion Is Strain Dependent and Does Not Correlate with Severe Pathologies in the Mouse Infection Model
15 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
There are conflicting data on the relationship between the level of secreted NS1 (sNS1), viremia, and disease severity upon dengue virus (DENV) infection in the clinical setting, and therefore, we examined this relationship in the widely accepted AG129 mouse model. Because of the failure of a routinely used NS1 detection kit to detect sNS1 of the mouse-adapted DENV2 strain, we screened 15 previously undescribed...
