The analysis of neutralizing epitope of dengue virus (DENV) is important for the development of an effective dengue vaccine. A potent neutralizing mouse monoclonal antibody named 7F4 was previously reported and, here, we further analyzed the detailed epitope of this antibody. 7F4 recognized a novel conformational epitope close to the N-67 glycan on the envelope protein. This antibody was specific to the DENV that lacks N-67 glycan, including the Mochizuki strain. Interestingly, the Mochizuki strain acquired N-67 glycan by 7F4 selective pressure. Considering that most of the currently circulating DENVs possess N-67 glycan, DENVs may have evolved to escape from antibodies targeting 7F4 epitope, suggesting the potency of this neutralizing epitope. In addition, this study demonstrated the existence of the epitopes close to 7F4 epitope and their crucial role in neutralization. In conclusion, the epitopes close to the N-67 glycan are attractive targets for the dengue vaccine antigen. Further analysis of this epitope is warranted.
