Cloning and expression of prM and it's use to distinguish host immune responses against dengue virus and Japanese encephalitis virus infections

All flaviviruses share common epitopes on the envelope protein (E) that results in extensive crossreactions in serological tests. /this makes it difficult to distinguish between immune responses against dengue virus (DENV) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), particularly in regions where these vi...
