TLDR
Tissue specimens from patients with serologically or virologically confirmed dengue infections are studied by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH), to localize viral antigen and RNA, respectively.Abstract:
Dengue viral antigens have been demonstrated in several types of naturally infected human tissues, but little is known of whether these same tissues have detectable viral RNA. We studied tissue specimens from patients with serologically or virologically confirmed dengue infections by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH), to localize viral antigen and RNA, respectively. IHC was performed on specimens obtained from 5 autopsies and 24 biopsies and on 20 blood-clot samples. For ISH, antisense riboprobes to the dengue E gene were applied to tissue specimens in which IHC was positive. Viral antigens were demonstrated in Kupffer and sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver; macrophages, multinucleated cells, and reactive lymphoid cells in the spleen; macrophages and vascular endothelium in the lung; kidney tubules; and monocytes and lymphocytes in blood-clot samples. Positive-strand viral RNA was detected in the same IHC-positive cells found in the spleen and blood-clot samples. The strong, positive ISH signal in these cells indicated a high copy number of viral RNA, suggesting replication.read more

Dengue Vaccines: Challenge and Confrontation
TL;DR: Dengue vaccine development may be hindered by the complexity of the clinical presentations, which implicates that multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved in dengue disease, and opening up discussion on these pros and cons and engaging in more research to understand these features would not only improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of the d Dengue virus infection but also pave a new tactic to develop a safer and effective denge vaccine.

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for extracting plasmid DNA from bacterial cells is described, which is simple enough to permit the analysis by gel electrophoresis of 100 or more clones per day, yet yields DNA which is pure enough to be digestible by restriction enzymes.
