Differential critical residues on the overlapped region of the non-structural protein-1 recognized by flavivirus and dengue virus cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies
The non-structural protein-1 (NS1) of dengue virus (DENV) contributes to several functions related to dengue disease pathogenesis as well as diagnostic applications. Antibodies against DENV NS1 can cross-react with other co-circulating flaviviruses, which may lead to incorrect diagnosis. Herein, fiv...

Sumario: | The non-structural protein-1 (NS1) of dengue virus (DENV) contributes to several functions related to dengue disease pathogenesis as well as diagnostic applications. Antibodies against DENV NS1 can cross-react with other co-circulating flaviviruses, which may lead to incorrect diagnosis. Herein, five anti-DENV NS1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were investigated. Four of them (1F11, 2E3, 1B2, and 4D2) cross-react with NS1 of all four DENV serotypes (pan-DENV mAbs), whereas the other (2E11) also reacts with NS1 of other flaviviruses (flavi-cross-reactive mAb). The binding epitopes recognized by these mAbs were found to overlap a region located on the disordered loop of the NS1 wing domain (amino acid residues 104 to 123). Fine epitope mapping employing phage display technology and alanine-substituted DENV2 NS1 mutants indicates the critical binding residues W115, K116, and K120 for the 2E11 mAb, which are conserved among flaviviruses. In contrast, the critical binding residues of four pan-DENV mAbs include both flavi-conserved residues (W115 to G119) and DENV-conserved flanking residues (K112, Y113, S114 and A121, K122). Our results highlight DENV-conserved residues in cross-reactive epitopes that distinguish pan-DENV antibodies from the flavi-cross-reactive antibody. These antibodies can be potentially applied to differential diagnosis of DENV from other flavivirus infections. |
