“…Interaction between viral particles and CLEC5A has been shown to induce production of proinflammatory cytokines which may play a role in dengue pathogenesis(Chen et al, 2008) Although DENV can infect many cell types in vitro including epithelial cells, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, muscle cells, dendritic cells, monocytes and mast cells, the roles of these cells in dengue pathogenesis and the cellular receptors involved in infection are not known(Arevalo et al, 2009; Basu et al, 2011; Brown et al, 2011; Huang et al, 2000; Paes et al, 2009; Salgado et al, 2010)…”
