Abstract |
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that endothelial cells (ECs) play a prominent role in immune-enhanced pathology seen in dengue virus (DENV) infection that might contribute to vascular permeability and hemorrhagic manifestations in severe dengue cases. However, it remains a question of whether DENV infection of ECs directly causes permeability or if extra-endothelial factors such as immune cell activation or antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) are required. In this chapter, we detail the measurement of the transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), a quantitative technique to measure the integrity of tight junction dynamics in cell culture models of endothelial monolayers and show that DENV infection of ECs does not cause endothelial permeability in vitro. |
