Dengue is a disease of high epidemiological impact caused by one of the four serotypes of dengue virus (DV 1-4). There is still no effective and safe vaccine for the control of this disease. One of the main problems that hinder the development of this vaccine is the lack of knowledge about cellular and molecular mechanisms which are involved in the protective immunity against DV. The prot…
The results of the first stage of our research show that mice immunized with the domain III of the envelope glycoprotein and challenged with a lethal dose of dengue virus (same serotype with regard to the protein), in contrast to what we were expecting, died earlier than the non-immunized animals (five experiments). Animals immunized with the domain III antigen developed higher viral load…
