Using a clinically relevant mouse model of severe dengue, we showed that DENV that lacked N207 glycans on NS1 was significantly attenuated, and this phenotype was dominant over wild-type virulent DENV. Mice infected with this mutant exhibited accelerated viral clearance, milder lymphopenia and more functional DENV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells. Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, cytokine measurements and immune-phenotyping revealed blunted innate inflammatory responses early post-infection, which correlated with reduced PD-L1 expression on innate immune cells and reduced PD-1<sup>+</sup> T-cells in mice infected with de-glycosylated DENV. PD-1 blockade demonstrated the involvement of premature T-cell apoptosis through the PD-L1/PD-1 axis in DENV pathogenesis. Collectively, our findings support that N207-de-glycosylated NS1 inhibits early inflammatory responses, which restricts PD-L1 upregulation on innate immune cells, which in turn limits PD-L1/PD-1 mediated T-cell apoptosis. Our study uncovers a novel immune evasion strategy and identifies PD-L1/PD-1 as a novel mechanism of dengue immunopathogenesis."],"study_type":["RNA-seq of coding RNA"],"species":["Mus musculus"],"pubmed_title":["Glycans on non-structural protein 1 prevent premature T-cell mediated dengue virus clearance"],"pubmed_authors":["Sylvie Alonso","Kuan Rong Chan","Justin Ooi Seng Ooi","Fakhriedzwan Idris, Justin Seng Geap Ooi, Donald Heng Rong Ting, Eunice Tze Xin Tan, Corrine Wan, Peter I Benke, Jan K Marzinek, Jack M Copping, Qin Hui Li, Lu Yi Ng, Sheau Yng Lim, Ian Walsh, Jane R Allison, Peter J Bond, Federico Torta, Terry Nguyen-Khuong, Kuan Rong Chan, Sylvie Alonso","Fakhriedzwan Idris"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Single-cell RNAseq of PBMC from mice infected with Dengue virus","description":"Single-cell RNAseq of PBMC from mice infected with either WT DENV2 or a T209 mutant DENV2","dates":{"release":"2026-04-21T00:00:00Z","modification":"2026-04-21T14:47:03.163Z","creation":"2025-07-02T09:37:20.416Z"},"accession":"E-MTAB-15296","cross_references":{"pubmed":["40962941"],"ENA":["ERP174484"],"EFO":["EFO_0002944","EFO_0004170","EFO_0005518","EFO_0003816","EFO_0003738","EFO_0004184"],"doi":["10.1038/s44321-025-00311-6"]}}
