Abstract excerpt
The flavivirus NS1 protein is a highly conserved nonstructural glycoprotein that is capable of eliciting protective immunity. NS1 homodimers are secreted from virus-infected mammalian cells, but the protein is also present at the plasma membrane and in the lumen of intracellular vesicles. Based on these properties, it has been speculated that NS1 may function in virus maturation or release. To gain further...
