A method of passive immunization comprising administration to a subject of an effective amount of an isolated neutralizing monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a Dengue virus serotype 1 envelope (E) protein, wherein the neutralizing monoclonal antibody is a human antibody with broadly neutralizing activity that binds across two E proteins in a virus, wherein the binding across two E proteins comprises binding to DI and the hinge between DI and II on one E protein and DIII of a neighboring E protein, wherein the antibody or fragment thereof binds to amino acids T51, G159, T160, T165, P166, Q167, E172, 1173, and T275 of SEQ ID NO:33 in DI, amino acids N52 and G274 of SEQ ID NO:33 in DII, and K310 of SEQ ID NO:33 in DIII, and
- wherein the antibody or fragment thereof comprises a heavy chain sequence comprising the CDR sequences SYGMH (amino acid residues 31-35 of SEQ ID NO:20), VIWYDGSKTYYGDSVKG (amino acid residues 50-66 of SEQ ID NO:20), and GIAGGWAFW (amino acid residues 99-107 of SEQ ID NO:20), and a light chain sequence comprising the CDR sequences RASQNVYSYLG (amino acid residues 24-34 of SEQ ID NO:27), GVTSRAT (amino acid residues 50-56 of SEQ ID NO:27), and QQYAG (amino acid residues 89-93 of SEQ ID NO:27).
