ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct sub-unit vaccines of dengue virus type 1 to 4 and to analyze its immunogenicity.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Envelope domain III s of dengue serotypes 1 and 2, as well as 3 and 4, were spliced by a linker (Gly-Gly-Ser-Gly-Ser)3 and cloned into vector pET-30a, then transformed into E. coli to express recombinant fusion proteins. The recombinant proteins were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and mixed to immunize BALB/c mice. The neutralizing antibodies were tested by neutralizing assay, as well as in newborn mice challenged intracranially with dengue virus type 1 to 4.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Mice immunized with proteins could produce neutralizing antibodies, with titers of 134. 9, 1 45.3, 1 24.7 and 138.4 for DEN-1 to 4 respectively. 100% newborn mice challenged with DEN-1 or 2 in combination with sera from mice immunized with recombinant proteins were protected, whereas 83% protection was obtained when challenged with DEN-3 or 4.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The recombinant proteins possess excellent immunogenicity to induce neutralizing antibodies and would be valuable for development of a tetravalent sub-unit vaccine.</p>
