Recombinant Polypeptide Antigen-Based Immunoglobulin G Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Serodiagnosis of Dengue

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: We have developed an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of anti-dengue virus (DENV) immunoglobulin G antibodies using four recombinant DENV envelope polypeptides as antigens, which demonstrated a sensitivity of 89.4% and a specificity of 93.3%. These easily produced antigens are a feasible, cost-effective alternative for generating reagents for dengue serological tests.
