Recent work has indicated that DENV affinity for cell lines is serotype-specific, which raises challenging questions regarding DENV-host interactions as well as the development of…

Comparative assessment of the replication efficiency of dengue, yellow fever, and chikungunya arboviruses in some insect and mammalian cell lines.

C6/36 was the most efficient cell line in the alpha and flavivirus production, followed by Vero cells, which suggests that Lulo cells may be a useful substrate to study the mechanisms by which cells evade viral replication.

Post-Vaccination Yellow Fever Antiserum Reduces Zika Virus in Embryoid Bodies When Placental Cells are Present

It is reported that BeWo and HUVEC cells were permissive to ZIKV and that the impact of YFV post-vaccination antibodies on ZikV replication was cell line-dependent, suggesting there may be cell-specific mechanisms that impact congenital ZikaV infections.

Working with Zika and Usutu Viruses In Vitro

It is indicated that a variety of cell lines can be used to study Zika and Usutu viruses and may provide an updated foundation for the study of host-pathogen interactions, model development, and the development of therapeutics.

Strain-Dependent Activity of Zika Virus and Exposure History in Serological Diagnostics

The data here show that serological diagnosis of ZIKV is complicated and that qualitative neutralization assays cannot discriminate between flaviviruses.

Dengue Virus Infection of Primary Human Smooth Muscle Cells.

This is the first report of DENV permissiveness in human smooth muscle cells, which might represent an unexplored pathophysiological contributor to the vascular collapse observed in severe human dengue infection.

1 Cross-Reactivity of Zika and Other Flaviviruses in 2 Serological Diagnostics 3

The data herein show that without RT-PCR, serological diagnosis may not be possible in areas where multiple flaviviruses are endemic.

Chapter Zika Virus

It is hypothesized that the study of this virus is useful as an indicator of other more virulent viruses and that Zika may mutate into a more virulence form than what has hitherto occurred.

Dengue serotypes 1–4 exhibit unique host specificity in vitro

The data indicate that a variety of cell lines from human and animal species can be used to culture DENV, and the serotype-specific susceptibility for certain cell lines may provide a tool to help characterize specific DENV serotypes as well as an in vitro platform for the study of host–pathogen interactions and the co-circulation of DENVserotypes in a specific region or individual.

Dengue virus binding to human leukocyte cell lines: receptor usage differs between cell types and virus strains.

The Mannose Receptor Mediates Dengue Virus Infection of Macrophages

It is shown for the first time that the MØ mannose receptor binds to all four serotypes of DV and specifically to the envelope glycoprotein, indicating a new functional role for the MR in DV infection.

How Innate Immune Mechanisms Contribute to Antibody-Enhanced Viral Infections

Safe and effective vaccines against RSV/measles virus and dengue virus may benefit from a better understanding of how innate immune responses can promote production of protective antibodies.

Host Gene Expression Profiling of Dengue Virus Infection in Cell Lines and Patients

Unbiased gene expression analysis has identified new host genes associated with dengue infection, which have been validated in functional studies and showed that some parts of the host response can be used as potential biomarkers for the disease while others can be use to control dengu viral replication, thus representing viable targets for drug therapy.

Alternative infectious entry pathways for dengue virus serotypes into mammalian cells

A differential mode of infective entry forDENV‐1 and DENV‐2 into a common host cell, Vero cells, as well as alternative entry pathways for a given serotype, DENV-2, into different types of cells are conclusively shown.

RNA interference screen for human genes associated with West Nile virus infection

This study provides a comprehensive molecular portrait of WNV–human cell interactions that forms a model for understanding single plus-stranded RNA virus infection, and reveals potential antiviral targets.

Discovery of Insect and Human Dengue Virus Host Factors

This work identifies insect host factors required for DENV-2 propagation, by carrying out a genome-wide RNA interference screen in Drosophila melanogaster cells using a well-established double-stranded RNA library, and suggests new approaches to control infection in the insect vector and the mammalian host.

CD9, a tetraspan transmembrane protein, renders cells susceptible to canine distemper virus

Findings indicate that human CD9 and its homologs in other species are necessary factors for the uptake of CDV by target cells, the formation of syncytia, and the production of progeny virus.

Functional entry of dengue virus into Aedes albopictus mosquito cells is dependent on clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

It is demonstrated for the first time that dengue virus 2 enters insect cells by receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis, requiring traffic through an acidic pH compartment for subsequent uncoating and completion of a productive infection.
