Dengue virus (DENV) constitutes a formidable public health threat within tropical and subtropical regions. The escalation of cases in Southeast Asia, notably Indonesia, is a matter of considerable concern. Timely identification of DENV infection remains imperative for efficient disease management. The non-structural protein-1 (NS1), distinguished by its heightened immunogenicity and early detectability during infection, stands as a pivotal target for diagnostic modalities. The current investigation delves into the exploration of B-cell epitopes within Indonesian DENV NS1 protein isolates, with the overarching objective of enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of early detection systems, such as the Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT). This study has successfully delineated five B-cell epitopes that exhibit conservation across DENV serotypes within Indonesian isolates (accessions number: QBB90021.1, QBE90252.1, QBB90023.1, and UDW38833.1). These epitopes were discerned through comprehensive screening leveraging the IEDB platforms. Noteworthy variations in antigenicity, allergenicity, and toxicity profiles were observed among these identified epitopes. Molecular docking analysis substant
