Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Three types of RNA (kuchijirosho associated RNA: KAR) appeared in the kuchijirosho-affected fugu brain. BLAST analysis of nucleotide and amino acid sequence showed that KARs are not similar to any other viruses registrated in the database, suggesting that kuchijirosho virus may be cllasified into a new category of virus. Swiss-Plot analysis indicated that KAR coding proteins possess viral RNA polymerase or arginine kinase; however, we could not find RNA encoding capsid protein or envelope protein. Formalin treated cell culture infected with kuchijirosho virus had no effect as vaccine.
