Production and characterization of anti-dengue capsid antibodies suggesting the N terminus region covering the first 20 amino acids of dengue virus capsid protein is predominantly immunogenic in mice.

Epitope-specific mAbs recognized C2 protein. Similar results were observed by IFA, where the Abs stained cytoplasm and nucleus of infected cells. The D2-C1 mAb is specific for DV2, whereas the D2-C2 mAb recognizes both DV2 and DV4.表位特异性单克隆抗体（monoclonal antibody, mAb）可识别C2蛋白。通过免疫荧光法（immunofluorescence assay, IFA）也得到了相似的实验结果，该类抗体（antibody, Ab）可对受感染细胞的细胞质与细胞核进行染色。其中D2-C1单克隆抗体仅特异性识别登革病毒2型（Dengue virus 2, DV2），而D2-C2单克隆抗体可同时识别DV2与登革病毒4型（Dengue virus 4, DV4）。
