Aalto Bio Reagents now have available a new complete range of Dengue virus proteins from serotypes 1-4 for diagnostic test manufacturers, vaccine developers and researchers globally. Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus closely related to Zika virus and West Nile virus.

While there are numerous diagnostic tests on the market at present for Dengue virus, there are few flavivirus panel assays and no specific Dengue virus therapeutics available. The massive upsurge in Zika virus serology and molecular testing is making it increasingly more important to screen for other arboviruses with similar clinical presentations to Zika Virus, including Dengue virus and Chikungunya virus.

Aalto Bio is leading the field in the development of these target recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies. The addition of these new Dengue virus proteins offers development teams and researchers globally access to vital, new raw material to test samples in the race to diagnose patients earlier and help with vaccine development.
