Hi!

I suggest you review these two publications.

You will find useful information

Article Models of dengue virus infection

Leonardo La Serra

Thank you Juan for the papers suggestion.

Thank you Alan, apart from the hematological point, are there any other human cells I could work with?

Alan Hsu

What is your goal? For intracellular IF staining ? Or to assess viral titers? You may also use huh7, u937 albeit less common

Thank you Jaun and Alan.

Alan, my goal is to test cell permissiveness to dengue infection. So I'll be performing viral titration.
