Envelope and membrane (E/M) and nonstructural protein NS1 serotype-specific capture Immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed to differentiate four dengue virus serotypes. A total of 93 anti-dengue virus IgM-positive serum samples collected between days 5 and 45 of illness from 59 confirmed dengue patients were analyzed. The results showed that positive serotype specificity could be identified for 86.1 and 47.6% of serum samples tested for E/M-specific IgM antibodies versus 83.3 and 42.9% of serum samples tested for NS1-specific IgM antibodies from patients with primary and secondary dengue virus infections, respectively. Dual analyses with both E/M and NS1 serotype-specific capture IgM ELISAs showed that positive serotype specificity could be correctly identified for 98.6 and 61.9% of all of the primary and secondary serum samples tested, respectively. These findings suggested that E/M and NS1 serotype-specific capture IgM ELISAs have the potential to be of use in dengue virus serotyping.
