Antigen of Dengue Virus Type 1

摘要

Antigens and B-cell epitopes derived from dengue virus type 1 are provided. The antigens are specifically immunoreactive with sera from individuals infected with dengue virus type 1 but not reactive with sera from healthy individuals and individuals infected with dengue virus type 2. The antigens and epitopes are useful for development of diagnostic kits and reagents, and are useful tools as well in determining whether an individual is infected with dengue virus type 1, and for distinguishing infection from dengue virus type 2.
