Differential Infectivity of Human Neural Cell Lines by a Dengue Virus Serotype-3 Genotype-III with a Distinct Nonstructural Protein 2A (NS2A) Amino Acid Substitution Isolated from the Cerebrospinal Fluid of a Dengue Encephalitis Patient

DENV-3 growth curve of two different isolates, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)- and serum-derived DENV-3 genotype-III, using a mosquito cell line (C6/36) and a human neural cell line (SKNSH). After infection at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 0.001, cell culture fluids were collected every 24 hours from 0 to 120 h and titrated by using a focus forming assay on Vero cells. P value was determined using the t test. P value 0.05 was considered significant.
