title: Recombinant polypeptide antigen-based immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for serodiagnosis of dengue.
abstract: We have developed an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of anti-dengue virus (DENV) immunoglobulin G antibodies using four recombinant DENV envelope polypeptides as antigens, which demonstrated a sensitivity of 89.4% and a specificity of 93.3%. These easily produced antigens are a feasible, cost-effective alternative for generating reagents for dengue serological tests.
