ABSTRACT
Dengue is a major public health threat. There are four dengue virus (DENV) serotypes; therefore, efforts are focused on developing safe and effective tetravalent DENV vaccines. While neutralizing antibodies contribute to protective immunity, there are still important gaps in understanding of immune responses elicited by dengue infection and vaccination. To that end, here, we develop a computational modeling framework based on the concept of antibody-virus neutralization fingerprints in order to characterize samples from clinical studies of TAK-003, a tetravalent vaccine candidate currently in phase 3 trials. Our results suggest a similarity of neutralizing antibody specificities in baseline-seronegative individuals. In contrast, amplification of pre-existing neutralizing antibody specificities is predicted for baseline-seropositive individuals, thus quantifying the role of immunologic imprinting in driving antibody responses to DENV vaccines. The neutralization fingerprinting analysis framework presented here can contribute to understanding dengue immune correlates of protection and help guide further vaccine development and optimization.
