Dengue virus-1 antigens (DEN-1 E protein)

Dengue virus-1 antigens refers collectively to the proteins expressed by the Dengue virus serotype 1 (DENV-1) that are recognized by the immune system. Key antigens include the envelope (E) protein, which mediates viral entry and serves as the primary target for neutralizing antibodies; the capsid (C) protein, essential for genome encapsidation; the non-structural proteins (particularly NS1, NS3, and NS5), which are involved in viral replication and immune modulation; and the membrane (M/prM) protein, which is important for virion maturation. The E and NS1 proteins are utilized in diagnostics and are major therapeutic or vaccine targets. However, "Dengue virus-1 antigens" is a broad term and not a specific molecular target; for structured pharmacological purposes, referencing a specific DENV-1 protein is necessary[1][3][4][6].
