| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (HAM), the infection model that is useful for screening of the medicine does not exist. Therefore, in this study, we tried to establish HTLV-1 infection model and be intended to use it for the screening of therapeutic drugs of HAM. At first, we manufactured a virus reservoir by transducing a virus expression vector to differentiation dendritic cells. Then, we established a rating system of the viral infection to a target cell by making a new index cell. It was confirmed that efficiency of the viral infection decreased by adding a blocking antibody in this system. Because it was thought that HTLV-1 infection model to the T cell via the dendritic cell was established, we will apply this system to the screening of drugs in further study.
