Anti-dengue virus antibodies that elicit complement-mediated lysis of Zika virion correlate with protection from severe dengue disease

Dias et al. show that cross-reactive anti-dengue virus antibodies in pre-infection plasma that mediate complement-dependent virolysis of Zika virus correlate with protection from subsequent severe den...

Check out our paper in @natcomms.nature.com ! We explored the link between pre-existing neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers and dengue disease protection & how different cell substrate and virus maturation state influences the measurement of nAb titers rdcu.be/eOfXW

Protection against symptomatic dengue infection by neutralizing antibodies varies by infection history and infecting serotype

Nature Communications - There is still a need to improve understanding of dengue-specific immunity. Here, by analyzing the antibody response in a pediatric cohort the authors show that the...
