Identification of a novel infection-enhancing epitope on dengue prM using a dengue cross-reacting monoclonal antibody

Table 2 Alignment of amino acid residues 14 to 18 of the prM proteins of flaviviruses with binding motif VS/GKTE

Notes: ^aThe protein sequences of DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, DENV4, WNV, JEV, YFV and TBEV were retrieved from GenBank with accession numbers EU848545, AF038403, M93130, AY947539, DQ211652, AF315119, X03700 and AY182009 respectively. The amino acids identical between the binding motif and prM protein are shown in bold.
