| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is characterized by thrombocytopenia and plasma leakage. We tried to elucidate the mechanism of severity, and elucidated the mechanism of pathogenesis using several kinds of dengue virus infection mouse models. As a result, in the following process occurs during the process of severity 1) abnormal activation of the macrophage. 2) Excessive production of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α. 3) Battling protection factors and exacerbating factors in vascular endothelial cells. 4) Multiple organ failure due to cytokine storm occurred at the end of the disease state, and factors involved in each step were identified. In the bone marrow, it was concluded that the erythrocyte - megakaryocyte precursor cell disorder has occurred. Furthermore, for the application of mouse model, the protective ability test of the therapeutic antibody was carried out and its effectiveness was shown.
