| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To identify rabies virus protein that is responsible for the pathogenesis, we tried to established transgenic (Tg) mice expressing each viral protein exclusively in neurons and then to reproduce rabies-like symptoms in the mice. In addition, we aimed to further examine this point by a combination use of the mice and the gene-deficient rabies viruses. Although we failed to generate L protein-expressing Tg mice, we established a plasmid required for G protein-expressing mice. Further, we have successfully generated L and G gene-deficient viruses before confirming their utilities.
