Intrinsic ADE: The Dark Side of Antibody Dependent Enhancement During Dengue Infection.

abstract：:The intracellular bacterial pathogen Francisella tularensis causes serious infectious disease in humans and animals. Moreover, F. tularensis, a highly infectious pathogen, poses a major concern for the public as a bacterium classified under Category A of bioterrorism agents. Unfortunately, research has so far failed t...
