Item A tetravalent dengue nanoparticle stimulates antibody production in mice.(2012) Silva, Elisângela F.; Orsi, Mariana; Andrade, Ângela Leão; Domingues, Rosana Zacarias; Silva, Breno de Mello; Araújo, Helena Rocha Corrêa de; Pimenta, Paulo Filemon Paolucci; Diamond, Michael S.; Rocha, Eliseu S. O.; Kroon, Erna Geessien; Malaquias, Luiz Cosme Cotta; Coelho, Luiz Felipe LeomilDengue is a major public health problem worldwide, especially in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Infection with a single Dengue virus (DENV) serotype causes a mild, self-limiting febrile illness called dengue fever. However, a subset of patients experiencing secondary infection with a different serotype progresses to the severe form of the disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. Currently, there are no licensed vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat dengue infections. Biodegradable nanoparticles coated with proteins represent a promising method for in vivo delivery of vaccines.
