The Complexity of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Dengue Virus Infection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) has been proposed as a mechanism to explain dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in the course of a secondary dengue infection. Very recently, Dejnirattisai et al., 2010 [1], published an important article supporting the involvement of anti-prM antibodies in the ADE phenomenon. The complexity of ADE in the context of a secondary dengue infection is discussed here.

Human IgG Fc receptor II mediates antibody-dependent enhancement of dengue virus infection.
It is known that anti-dengue virus antibodies at subneutralizing concentrations augment dengue virus infection of IgG FcR (Fc gamma R)-positive cells, and this phenomenon is called antibody-dependent enhancement. This is caused by the uptake of dengue virus-antibody complexes by Fc gamma R. We previously reported that Fc gamma RI can mediate antibody-dependent enhancement. In this study we use ...
متن کاملFlow Cytometric Determination for Dengue Virus-Infected Cells: Its Application for Antibody-Dependent Enhancement Study
The theory of antibody-dependent enhancement plays an important role in the dengue virus infection. However, its molecular mechanism is not clearly studied partially due to lack of a sensitive assay to determine the dengue virus-infected cells. We developed a flow cytometric assay with anti-dengue antibody intracellular staining on dengue virus-infected cells. Both anti-E and anti-prM Abs could...
متن کاملMeasurement of antibody-dependent infection enhancement of four dengue virus serotypes by monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies.
Although its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood, data comparing each of the four dengue virus serotypes suggest that in vitro antibody-dependent infection enhancement is a reproducible and measurable phenomenon related to other serological measures of antibody-virus binding. Information characterizing infection enhancement may provide clues to disease pathogenesis for dengue and other ...
متن کاملSource and Purity of Dengue-Viral Preparations Impact Requirement for Enhancing Antibody to Induce Elevated IL-1β Secretion: A Primary Human Monocyte Model
Dengue virus is a major global health threat and can lead to life-threatening hemorrhagic complications due to immune activation and cytokine production. Cross-reactive antibodies to an earlier dengue virus infection are a recognized risk factor for severe disease. These antibodies bind heterologous dengue serotypes and enhance infection into Fc-receptor-bearing cells, a process known as antibo...
متن کاملThe effect of antibody-dependent enhancement, cross immunity, and vector population on the dynamics of dengue fever.
Dengue is a major international public health concern and impacts one-third of the world's population. No specific vaccine and treatment are available for this vector-borne disease. There are four similar but distinct serotypes of dengue viruses (DENV). Infection with one serotype affords life-long immunity to that serotype but only temporary partial immunity, or cross immunity (CI), to others....
