| Research Abstract |
Reverse genetics systems for poliovirus, Aichivirus, and hepatitis C virus were established. For these viruses, interaction between viral and host molecules were investigated to give an insight into molecular mechanisms of viral replication and pathogenesis. As for rotavirus whose reverse genetics is not completely established, mainly antigenic structure and cleavage region of viral VP4 were studied. At the same time, we made an effort to establish better reverse genetics system for rotavirus.
