While virus-like particles (VLPs) containing subgenomic replicons, which can transduce replicons into target cells efficiently for studying viral replication and vectors of gene therapy and vaccine, have been established for several flaviviruses, none has been reported for the four serotypes of dengue virus, the causal agent of the most important arboviral diseases in this century. In this study, we successfully established a cell line stably expressing the precursor membrane/envelope (PrM/E…

Reverse genetics and the study of dengue virus
TLDR
The contribution of reverse genetics to dengue virus research to date is described, highlighting the potential use of this technology in the development of effective control measures against d Dengue in the future.
Nucleic Acid-Based Infectious and Pseudo-Infectious Flavivirus Vaccines
TLDR
SRIP-producing DNA was shown to be highly effective in mice and horses and provides an easier to manufacture and thermally stable alternative to other vaccine candidates currently being developed.
Virus-like particles in vaccine development
TLDR
This article focuses on the essential role of VLP technology in new-generation vaccines against prevalent and emergent diseases and the implications of large-scale VLP production in the context of process control, monitorization and optimization.
Novel Dengue Virus-Specific NS2B/NS3 Protease Inhibitor, BP2109, Discovered by a High-Throughput Screening Assay
ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) causes disease globally, with an estimated 25 to 100 million new infections per year. At present, no effective vaccine is available, and treatment is supportive. In this
Dengue Reporter Virus Particles for Measuring Neutralizing Antibodies against Each of the Four Dengue Serotypes
TLDR
The diagnostic utility of DENV RVPs for measuring neutralizing antibodies in human serum samples against all four DENV serotypes is demonstrated, and the high-throughput capability, stability, rapidity, and reproducibility of assays using DENVRVPs offer advantages for detecting immune responses that can be applied to large-scale clinical studies ofDENV infection and vaccination.
Antibodies to Envelope Glycoprotein of Dengue Virus during the Natural Course of Infection Are Predominantly Cross-Reactive and Recognize Epitopes Containing Highly Conserved Residues at the Fusion Loop of Domain II
TLDR
Findings from Western blot analysis of DENV serotype 2-infected patients with different disease severity and immune status during an outbreak in southern Taiwan in 2002 have implications for the understanding of the pathogenesis of dengue and for the future design of subunit vaccine against DENV.
Distinct expression of interferon‐induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) 1/2/3 and other antiviral genes between subsets of dendritic cells induced by dengue virus 2 infection
TLDR
The IMDC model, although less permissive to DENV2, is a useful platform for studying the suppression mechanism ofDENV2 and the knowledge of cellular factors that modulate DENV 2 infection in the human body is expanded.

Incorporation of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Replicons into Virus-Like Particles by a Packaging Cell Line
TLDR
RNA replicons derived from flavivirus genomes show considerable potential as gene transfer and immunization vectors and can be used both as a source for mature TBE virus RSPs and as a safe and convenient replicon packaging cell line, providing the TBEirus surface proteins prM/M and E in trans.
trans-Packaged West Nile Virus-Like Particles: Infectious Properties In Vitro and in Infected Mosquito Vectors
TLDR
It is demonstrated that VLPs can serve as a valuable tool for the investigation of tissue tropism during the early stages of infection, where virus spread and the need for biosafety level 3 containment complicate the use of wild-type virus.
Development of Dengue virus type 2 replicons capable of prolonged expression in host cells
TLDR
D Dengue virus genomes lacking major structural proteins can, like other flaviviruses, replicate intracellularly and express virus non-structural proteins with minimal toxicity to host cells and pave the way for the development of dengue virus replicons as a form of live, attenuated virus vaccine.
Chimeric Dengue Type 2 (Vaccine Strain PDK-53)/Dengue Type 1 Virus as a Potential Candidate Dengue Type 1 Virus Vaccine
TLDR
This study indicated that the infectious clones derived from the candidate DEN-2 PDK-53 vaccine are promising attenuated vectors for development of chimeric flavivirus vaccines.
Infectious RNA transcribed from stably cloned full-length cDNA of dengue type 4 virus.
TLDR
Evidence is presented that dengue virus recovered from permissive cells transfected with the in vitro RNA transcripts retained a mutation that was engineered into full-length cDNA that should facilitate the development of a safe and effective live vaccine for use in humans.
Vaccine candidates derived from a novel infectious cDNA clone of an American genotype dengue virus type 2
TLDR
The r DEN2Δ30 and rDEN2΢30-4995 viruses can be considered for evaluation in humans and for inclusion in a tetravalent dengue vaccine.
Kunjin Virus Replicon Vectors for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Vaccine Development
TLDR
KUN replicon VLP vaccinations induced long-lasting immune responses with CD8+ T cells able to secrete gamma interferon and to mediate protection 6 to 10 months after immunization, illustrating the potential value of the K UN replicon vectors for human immunodeficiency virus vaccine design.
Noncytopathic flavivirus replicon RNA-based system for expression and delivery of heterologous genes.
TLDR
Noncytopathic KUN replicon vectors with the ability to be packaged into VLPs should provide a useful tool for the development of noninfectious and noncy topathic vaccines as well as for gene therapy applications.
