The proportion of the DENV1 type-specific neutralizing antibody response targeted to the 1F4 epitope is highly variable across the Nicaraguan population in the hospital-based study at 3 and 18 months post-infection. (A) Analysis of the proportion of the DENV1 type-specific response attributable to the 1F4 epitope at 3 and 18 months reveals substantial variability, with individuals displaying a range from high to low proportions of the DENV1 response directed to the 1F4 epitope. (B) Paired analysis where each individual was assigned a color and a symbol to enable visualization of the trajectory of the DENV1 type-specific response to the 1F4 epitope at 3 and 18 months post-infection. (C) Distribution of individuals who gained recognition of the 1F4 epitope between 3 and 18 months (beige), lost recognition (brown) or remained constant (green). (D) The antigenic cartography map positions viruses (DENV1, DENV2 and rDENV2/1 in teal, purple and yellow, respectively) and plasma (open teal squares), with the distance between each virus and plasma derived from its respective neutralizing antibody titer. Each grid square corresponds to a 2-fold dilution in the NT50. From 3 to 18 months post-primary DENV1 infection, the DENV1 and rDENV2/1 titers converge, as indicated by the rDENV2/1 arrow pointing towards DENV1.
