Microbes Infect. 2014 Sep;16(9):711-20. doi: 10.1016/j.micinf.2014.07.011. Epub 2014 Aug 11.

Abstract

In this review, we discuss the current knowledge of the role of the antibody response against dengue virus and highlight novel insights into targets recognized by the human antibody response. We also discuss how the balance of pathological and protective antibody responses in the host critically influences clinical aspects of the disease.

Keywords: Antibody response; Antibody-enhanced infection; Dengue virus.
