}Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae, is the major cause of paediatric encephalitis in Asia. The high incidence of subclinical infections in Japanese encephalitis-endemic areas and subsequent evasion of encephalitis points to the development of immune responses against JEV. Humoral responses play a central role in protection against JEV; however, cell-mediated immune responses contributing to this end are not fully understood…

Understanding of the immunological responses that lead to recovery from infection with JEV and account for vaccine-mediated protection is important in the design of rational approaches to new treatments and vaccines against the disease, and will be the focus of this review.

The ability of WNV to productively infect horse monocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages is demonstrated, as well as high titers of virus in blood and spleen, which suggest that this virus spreads from subcutaneous tissue to the brain by a hematogenous route.

The basis for the remarkable success of JEV vaccines is queries, not least of which may be the ease of protecting against encephalitis caused by JEV, and the true test of the ingenuity of those dedicated to the pursuit of viral vaccines would be success against viral diseases such as HIV-AIDS and dengue that pose a far greater challenge to scientists.

Analysis of variability of the NS3 protein sequence across 16 JEV isolates revealed complete identity of aa 219-318, which is contained within the above segment, suggesting that NS3-specific epitopes tend to cluster in relatively conserved regions that harbour functionally critical domains of the protein.

It is demonstrated that the anti-E antibody is the most critical protective component in this JEV challenge model and that production of anti- E antibody by pE DNA vaccine is dependent on the presence of CD4+ T cells but independent of CD8- T cells.
