Fig. 3. DENV2/4 chimera Replication and Antigenicity.

Fig. 3

a Both DENV2/4 chimeras are slightly attenuated compared to parental DENV2 and DENV4 but replicate efficiently in Vero-81 cells. Mean + /- SD of triplicate values shown. b DENV2/4EDII replicates efficiently human macrophage cell line U937 + DC-SIGN but is slightly attenuated compared to parental DENV2 and DENV4. Mean + /- SD of triplicate values shown. c Both DENV2/4 chimeras are neutralized by DENV2 mAbs 2D22 and 3F9 as well as DENV4 mAbs 126 and 131. Cross-reactive neutralizing epitopes for hmAbs1 EDE1-C8 and EDE2-B7 are also retained. EC50 values from Vero-81 focus reduction neutralization test (FRNT). EC50 value denotes the amount of hmAb needed to neutralize 50% of the virus. d The DENV2/4EDII chimera contains epitopes targeted by DENV2 primary sera. Vero-81 FRNT EC50 values of DENV2ic, DENV4ic and DENV2/4EDII. e The DENV2/4EDII chimera contains epitopes targeted by DENV4 primary sera. Vero-81 FRNT EC50 values of DENV2ic, DENV4ic and DENV2/4EDII.
