The flavivirus nonstructural glycoprotein NS1 is an enigmatic protein whose structure and
mechanistic function have remained somewhat elusive ever since it was first reported in …

In 1999, an epidemic of West Nile virus (WNV) encephalitis occurred in New York City (NYC)
and 2 surrounding New York counties. Simultaneously, an epizootic among American crows …

Abstract Infection with West Nile virus (WNV) causes fatal encephalitis in
immunocompromised animals. Previous studies in mice have established that T cell …

We demonstrate the presence of nonstructural protein 1 (NS1)-specific antibodies in a
significant proportion of convalescent-phase human serum samples obtained from a cohort …

We have previously shown that a plasmid (pE) encoding the Japanese encephalitis virus
(JEV) envelope (E) protein conferred a high level of protection against a lethal viral …

Background Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a major mosquito-borne pathogen that
causes viral encephalitis throughout Asia. Vaccination with an inactive JEV particle or …

Background: Flavivirus infection elicits an abundant immune response in the host which is
directed against a number of the viral proteins. Resistance to flavivirus-induced disease can …

Linear immunogenic peptides corresponding to amino acid sequences from the NS1 non-
structural protein from tick-borne encephalitis virus (strain Sophyin) were predicted using …

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an acute central nervous system inflammatory disease cause
by infection with Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a small, enveloped, plus-strand RNA …

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are closely related
Flaviviruses that are important arthropod-borne human pathogens. Both of these viruses can …
