This technology summary highlights the pivotal role of replicons, cell lines, and reporter virus particles (RVPs) in advancing Flavivirus research. Replicons, engineered from the viral genome, allow for controlled replication in host cells, while cell lines stably harboring these replicons provide valuable tools for drug discovery and the production of pseudo-infectious virus particles. These RVPs, composed of flavivirus structural proteins, underpin a high-throughput quantitative method for studying antibody-mediated neutralization of infection. This comprehensive approach not only aids in drug development but also facilitates a deeper understanding of Flavivirus-host interactions, paving the way for improved antiviral strategies and vaccine development.
