| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Host factors are essential for virus maturation in cells and pathogenesis caused by dengue (DEN) and Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus infection. We executed the current research subject, the elucidation of molecular mechanisms on virus proliferation and pathogenic progression by structural optimization of functional glycans involved in these virus infection.
In summary, we characterized carbohydrate substrates which contribute to virus invasion and maturation inside host cells, found the anti-viral activity in an edible mushroom extract, generated a novel anti-viral agent, and identified putative a carbohydrate factor for virus tropism and pathogenic progression.
