2003 DEC 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The dengue 2 PDK-53 virus has been used as a chimeric carrier for tetravalent dengue vaccine development.

"Attenuation markers of the candidate dengue 2 (D2) PDK-53 vaccine virus are encoded by mutations that reside outside of the structural gene region of the genome. We engineered nine dengue virus chimeras containing the premembrane (prM) and envelope (E) genes of wild-type D1 16007, D3 16562, or D4 1036 virus within the genetic backgrounds of wild-type D2 16681 virus and the two genetic variants (PDK53-E and PDK53-V) of the D2 PDK-53 vaccine virus," scientists in the United States and Thailand report.

"Expression of the heterologous prM-E genes in the genetic backgrounds of the two D2 PDK-53 variants, but not that of wild-type D2 16681 virus, resulted in chimeric viruses that retained PDK-53 characteristic phenotypic markers of attenuation, including small plaque size and temperature sensitivity in LLC-MK2 cells, limited replication in C6/36 cells, and lack of neurovirulence in newborn ICR mice," stated Claire Y.-H. Huang and collaborators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States and Mahidol University-Salaya I Thailand.

"Chimeric D2/1, D2/3, and D2/4 viruses replicated efficiently in Vero cells and were immunogenic in AG129 mice," reported the investigators. "Chimeric D2/1 viruses protected adult AG129 mice against lethal DI ...
