The E.coli derived recombinant 52kDa protein is genetically engineered peptide which is derived from Dengue Type-2 and 4 to be expressed as a fused envelope, each part in this fusion contains 170 a.a (positions 46-217),it is used in ELISA assay. This fusion protein is connected to a 6xHis Tag. Dengue Type-2 and 4 is purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
Caused by one of four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. In cell culture experiments and mice Morpholino antisense oligos have shown specific activity against Dengue virus.
