The four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV1–4) are causative agents of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). Previous DENV infection is a risk factor for DHF/DSS during subsequent infection by a different serotype. Nonetheless, most primary and secondary DENV infections are asymptomatic. To investigate the possible mechanisms of immune protection in vivo, 129/Pas mice lacking IFN-α/β and -γ receptors (AG129) were used to model secondary infection using both DENV1–DENV2 and DENV2–DENV4 sequences. At intervals between sequential infections of 4 to 52 weeks, protection against secondary heterologous DENV infection was observed. Passive transfer of DENV-immune serum was protective against replication of heterologous challenge virus in all tissues tested, whereas adoptive transfer of DENV-immune cells significantly protected mice from replication of the challenge virus only when a lower inoculum was administered. These findings are relevant for understanding both natural and vaccine-induced immunity to DENV.
