Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter highlights the neutralization and protection against dengue infection by antibodies and relevant clinical and epidemiological and experimental studies that support the phenomenon of antibody-dependent enhanced (ADE) are discussed Epidemiological studies provide the background evidence that shows ADE to be a biologically plausible hypothesis Several mechanisms have been proposed for the neutralization of viruses in vivo : aggregation of viruses resulting in elimination by phagocytic cells; blocked attachment to one or another cell receptor by (a) stearic interference, (b) capsid stabilization, or (c) structural changes; or neutralization of uncoating due to (a) capsid stabilization or (b) interference with fusion

Prospects for a dengue virus vaccine.

TL;DR: The unique immunological concerns in dengue virus vaccine development are discussed and the current prospects for the development of an acceptable vaccine are discussed, with a goal that is likely to be reached in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibody-dependent enhancement and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and therapies.

TL;DR: Key ADE mechanisms are described and mitigation strategies for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and therapies in development are discussed and recently published data is outlined to evaluate the risks and opportunities for antibody-based protection against Sars-Cov-2.

Human antibody responses after dengue virus infection are highly cross-reactive to Zika virus

TL;DR: It is shown that both acute and convalescent dengue sera potently bind and neutralize ZIKV and that this cross-reactivity is also evident at the monoclonal level, suggesting that preexisting immunity to DENV may impact protective immune responses against ZikV.

Pathogenesis of dengue: challenges to molecular biology

TL;DR: This work has identified a severe syndrome, dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome, in Southeast Asian children, which recently has also been identified in children infected with the virus in Puerto Rico.

Dengue Viremia Titer, Antibody Response Pattern, and Virus Serotype Correlate with Disease Severity

TL;DR: Higher peak titers were associated with increased disease severity for the 31 patients with a peak titer identified, and increased dengue disease severity correlated with high viremia titer, secondary d Dengue virus infection, and DEN-2 virus type.

Dengue virus infectivity depends on envelope protein binding to target cell heparan sulfate

TL;DR: Heparin, highly sulfated heparan sulfate, and the polysulfonate pharmaceutical Suramin effectively prevented dengue virus infection of target cells, indicating that the envelope protein-target cell receptor interaction is a critical determinant of infectivity.

Research on dengue during World War II.

TL;DR: Dengue research was brought from the field into the laboratory and further progress has been made possible by work on experimental animals instead of on human volunteers, and a great deal more was learned about the basic properties of the dengue viruses.

A prospective study of dengue infections in Bangkok.

TL;DR: Preexistent d Dengue immunity, as detected by conventional serologic techniques, was a significant (odds ratio greater than or equal to 6.5) risk factor for development of dengue hemorrhagic fever.
