BALB/c mice (n = 8–10) immunized with pE1D2 or pcTPANS1 were depleted from CD4+ or CD8+ cells upon inoculation of in-house produced ascitic fluids containing anti-CD4 (clone GK 1.5) or anti-CD8 antibodies (clone 56-3.7) (39 (link)). Animals were inoculated by the intraperitoneal route (i.p.) with 20 μL of ascitic fluids on days 4 and 2 before DENV2 challenge. T cell depletion was monitored by flow cytometry in blood cells stained with anti-CD3 FITC (clone 145-2C11), anti-CD8 PerCP (clone 33-6.7) and anti-CD4 PE (clone RM4-5) antibodies (BD Biosciences), and evaluated on FlowJo software.
