Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a method for identifying flavivirus cross-reactive epitopes. Also provided are flavivirus E-glycoprotein cross-reactive epitopes and flavivirus E-glycoprotein cross-reactive epitopes having reduced or ablated cross-reactivity (and polypeptides comprising such epitopes), as well as methods of using these molecules to elicit an immune response against a flavivirus and to detect a flaviviral infection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a mutant flavivirus E-glycoprotein polypeptide comprising at least one amino acid substitution at position 104 or 106 compared to a wild type flavivirus E-glycoprotein polypeptide, wherein the mutant E-glycoprotein polypeptide exhibits reduced antibody cross-reactivity as compared to the wild type E-glycoprotein polypeptide, and wherein the flavivirus is selected from the group consisting of dengue serotype 1 virus, dengue ser…
