“…The system has also been employed to produce recombinant dengue virus E protein and NS-1, which, to varying degrees, induced protective immune responses in mice (Putnak et al, 1991 ;Deubel et al, 1991 ;Delenda et al, 1994 ;Smucny et al, 1995). Of these, only Delenda et al (1994) described elicitation of dengue virus serotype cross-reactive antibody responses. Although an attenuated multivalent dengue virus vaccine is currently under evaluation (Bhamarapravati & Yoksan, 1989), a similar approach using multivalent recombinant E proteins has not been reported.…”
