The amino acids at the following locations on the mutant peptides showed significantly reduced binding ability to prM antibody: pr4.5 (position 5 \u2013 leucine), pr4.6 (position 6 \u2013 leucine), pr4.7 (position 7 \u2013 phenyalanine) and pr4.16 (position 16 \u2013 cysteine). The four amino acids had formed a pocket\u2010like structure, which could increase the possibility of binding to an antibody.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>ADE activities could be reduced by replacing the DENV pr4 gene with the corresponding JEV gene. Leucine at position 5, leucine at position 6, phenyalanine at position 7 and cysteine at position 16 were the key amino acid sites in the ADE response of DENV. The occurrence of ADE can potentially be reduced by the replacement of key amino acids, hence highlighting its possible contribution to dengue vaccine design, paving a way for future vaccine research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgm.3297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,21]],"date-time":"2020-11-21T06:41:20Z","timestamp":1605940880000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Antibody\u2010dependent
