Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus (DENV) which spread widely in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. DENV is a single-positive strand RNA virus with a genome size of ± 11kb which encodes three structural proteins, seven non-structural proteins, and two untranslated regions (UTR). The non-structural protein-1 (NS1) of DENV is known to have important role in dengue pathogenesis also promising to be developed as dengue vaccine. Lately, novel vaccine approach by DNA immunization have given new perspective for a safe, stable, and immunogenic vaccine platform. Previously, we have successfully construct DNA vaccine encoding NS1 protein of DENV2 (pUNS1) which express recombinant NS1 protein in-vitro. Thus, in this current study the ability of pUNS1 to induce humoral immune response will be further analyzed by in mice immunization. Methods: Sixteen BALB/c mice aged of 4 weeks were immunized 3 times with 100 µg of pUNS1 or pUMVC4a on 2 week time interval. Blood sampling was carried out just before immunization and termination was done 2 week after last immunization. Titer from individual mice sera against DENV-2 were measure with in-house ELISA. Results: IgG against NS1 protein of DENV2 titer from mice group immunized with recombinant pUNS1 shown high ELISA absorbancies, 5 times higher than pUMVC4a group. This result suggest the ability of pUNS1 to induce humoral immune response against NS1 DENV-2 in-vivo. Conclusion: Recombinant pUNS1 can induce humoral immune response in mice.

Abstract Dengue is an arboviral disease, which threatens almost half the global population, and has emerged as the most significant of current global public health challenges. In this study, we prepared dengue virus-like particles (DENV-LPs) consisting of Capsid-Premembrane-Envelope (CprM/E) and Premembrane-Envelope (prM/E) polypeptides from serotype 1 and 4, which were expressed in the silkworms using Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) bacmid. 1CprME, 1prME, 4CprME, and 4prME expressed proteins in hemolymph and molecular weight of the purified proteins were 55 kDa, respectively. The purified polypeptides formed spherical Dengue virus-like particles (DENV-LPs) with approximately 30–55 nm in diameter. The immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) images revealed antigens to the surface of a lipid bilayer of DENV-LPs. The heparin-binding assay shows a positive relationship between absorbance and the quantity of E protein domain III (EDIII), which was supported by the isothermal titration calorimetry assay, showing a moderate binding affinity between heparin and DENV-LP. The high correlation between patient sera and DENV-LP reactivities revealed that these DENV-LPs shared similar epitopes with the natural dengue virus. IgG elicitation studies in mice have demonstrated that DENV-LP/CPrMEs elicits a stronger immune response than DENV-LP/prMEs, which lends credence to this claim.

<p>Se comparó la respuesta inmune humoral inducida por las proteínas estructurales del virus de la estomatitis vesicular (serotipos Indiana y New Jersey), utilizando sueros de bovinos vacunados e infectados natural y experimentalmente. Para ello, se usó la técnica de inmunotransferencia (<em>Western blot</em>) a través de la cual se observó el reconocimiento exclusivo de la proteína G en sueros de animales vacunados, así como de las proteínas G y N en sueros de animales infectados. Los sueros de los animales infectados experimentalmente presentaron reacción cruzada en el caso de la proteína N. Se realizaron corridos electroforéticos y densitométricos de 13 subclones del virus de la estomatitis vesicular aislados en distintas áreas endémicas del país. Los resultados mostraron una homología completa e dependiente de su lugar de origen, lo cual es coherente con la literatura reportada.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract</strong> </p><p><strong>Comparison between the immune response to vesicular stomatitis proteins virus in vaccinated bovine and  naturally or induced infected ones</strong></p><p>The induced humoral immune response against structural proteins of Indiana and New Jersey serotypes of the vesicular stomatitis virus was compared using serum obtained from vaccinated bovine, natural and experimentally infected ones.

Dengue infection represents a global threat causing 50-100 million infections per year and placing half of the world’s population at risk. Even though how infection is controlled and cured rather remains a mystery, antibodies are thought to play a major role in clearing the virus. In this paper, we study the dynamics of dengue virus with humoral immune response and absorption effect. The proposed model incorporates a time delay in production of antibodies. The basic reproduction number R0 is computed and a detailed stability analysis is done. It was found that the model has 3 steady states, namely, infection free equilibrium, no immune equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. Conditions for R0 were developed for the local stability of these 3 equilibrium states. The global stability was studied using appropriate Lyapunov function and LaSalle’s invariance principle. We then established a condition for which the endemic equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable. Also it was observed that the virus count goes to negligible levels within 7-14 days after the onset of symptoms.
