Abstrakt: The Dengue pathophysiology has had several aspects determined over the years. However, some points remain elusive, such as the metabolic factors that regulate the massive B cell differentiation into antibody-secreting cells observed in Dengue patients. In this chapter, we describe an in vitro method capable of mimicking this Dengue-induced cell expansion. More specifically, this approach allows dengue virus-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy individuals to enhance the frequency of phenotypical and functional antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) after 7 days of culture. A manuscript recently published by Bonezi and colleagues displays results generated through this methodology.
