Characterization of a Novel Dengue Serotype 4 Virus-Specific Neutralizing Epitope on the Envelope Protein Domain III
The dengue virus (DENV) envelope protein domain III (ED3) has been suggested to contain receptor recognition sites and the critical neutralizing epitopes. Up to date, relatively little work has been done on fine mapping of neutralizing epitopes on ED3 for DENV4. In this study, a novel mouse type-specific neutralizing antibody 1G6 against DENV4 was obtained with both prophylactic and therapeutic...
متن کاملCharacterization of a dengue type-specific epitope on dengue 3 virus envelope protein domain III
Dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne disease caused by four genetically and serologically related viruses termed DENV-1, -2, -3 and -4. The DENV envelope (E) protein ectodomain can be divided into three structural domains designated ED1, ED2 and ED3. The ED3 domain contains DENV type-specific and DENV complex-reactive antigenic sites. To date, nearly all antigenic studies on the E protein ha...
متن کاملCharacterization of dengue virus complex-specific neutralizing epitopes on envelope protein domain III of dengue 2 virus.
The surface of the mature dengue virus (DENV) particle is covered with 180 envelope (E) proteins arranged as homodimers that lie relatively flat on the virion surface. Each monomer consists of three domains (ED1, ED2, and ED3), of which ED3 contains the critical neutralization determinant(s). In this study, a large panel of DENV-2 recombinant ED3 mutant proteins was used to physically and biolo...
متن کاملDengue virus type-3 envelope protein domain III; expression and immunogenicity
Objective(s): Production of a recombinant and immunogenic antigen using dengue virus type-3 envelope protein is a key point in dengue vaccine development and diagnostic researches. The goals of this study were providing a recombinant protein from dengue virus type-3 envelope protein and evaluation of its immunogenicity in mice. Materials and Methods: Multiple amino acid sequences of different i...
متن کاملNeutralizing Antibody Response and Efficacy of Novel Recombinant Tetravalent Dengue DNA Vaccine Comprising Envelope Domain III in Mice
Background: Dengue is a global arboviral threat to humans; causing 390 million infections per year. The availability of safe and effective tetravalent dengue vaccine is a global requirement to prevent epidemics, morbidity, and mortality associated with it. Methods: Five experimental groups (6 mice per group) each of 5-week-old BALB/c mice were immunized with vaccine and placebo (empty plasmid) ...
