Preparation and Storage

Background: Dengue Virus 1 NS1

Dengue virus (DENV), the cause of Dengue fever, is a single positive-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. 5 closely related but antigenically distinct serotypes of the virus have been found: DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4 and DENV-5.  DENV has a genome of about 11,000 bases, encoding a single large polyprotein that is subsequently cleaved into several structural and non-structural peptides. The polyprotein is divided into three structural proteins, C, prM, E, seven non-structural proteins, NS1, NS2a, NS2b, NS3, NS4a, NS4b, NS5, and short non-coding regions on both the 5' and 3' ends. DENV nonstructural protein-1 (NS1) is a secreted glycoprotein that is absent from viral particles but accumulates in the supernatant and on the plasma membrane of cells during infection.
