Validation of a mouse model of dengue virus (DENV) infection relies on verification of viremia and productive replication in mouse tissues following infection. Here, we describe a quantitative assay for determining viral RNA levels in mouse serum and tissues. For the purpose of confirming DENV replication, we outline a fluorescence immunohistochemistry (FIHC) protocol for staining a nonstructural protein of DENV.
