Whole-blood model reveals granulocytes as key sites of dengue virus propagation, expanding understanding of disease pathogenesis

ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) infection poses a significant global health threat, yet our understanding of its immunopathogenesis remains incomplete due to limitations of existing models. Here, we establish an in vitro whole-blood model using hirudin, an anticoagulant that preserves complement activi...
