Results are given as antibody titers and are representative of those from three independent experiments. The neutralizing antibody titer is the highest serum dilution that resulted in a 50% reduction in the number of plaques produced by DEN-2. The prime consisted of infection with DEN-2, and the boost consisted of inoculation of the recombinant domain III-capsid protein.
