Abstract
A Dengue virus Envelope Dimer Epitope (EDE) wherein the EDE: c) spans the polypeptides of a Dengue virus Envelope polypeptide dimer; and/or d) is presented on a dimer of Envelope proteins; and/or c) is formed from consecutive or nonconsecutive residues of the envelope polypeptide dimer, wherein the dimer is a homodimer or heterodimer of native and/or mutant envelope polypeptides, from any one or two of DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4. The EDE may be a stabilized recombinant dengue virus envelope glycoprotein E ectodomain (sE) dimer, wherein the dimer is: covalently stabilized with at least one disulphide inter-chain bond between the two sE monomers, and/or covalently stabilized with at least one sulfhydryl-reactive crosslinker between the two sE monomers, and/or covalently stabilized by linking the two sE monomers through modified sugars; and/or, covalently stabilised by being formed as a single polypeptide chain, optionally with a linker region, optionally a Glycine Serine rich linker region, separating the sE sequences, and/or non-covalently stabilized by substituting at least one amino acid residue in the amino acid sequence of at least one sE monomer with at least one bulky s…
