| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have established and improved experimental system based on expression cloning to identify virus receptors efficiently. The present project is to overcome a disadvantage of the system that the systems are inapplicable to viruses whose glycoproteins cannot work as envelope proteins of retro- or lentivirus vectors. Important in my system is use of viruses which don’t give infected cells damage.
I failed to overcome the disadvantage with VSV and JEV. However, expression of a reporter fCD2 could be done with M segment of SFTS virus being known to show no/low cell damage.
Reverse genetics for SFTS virus have been reported, therefore, a next step is to prepare recombinant SFTS virus stably expressing a reporter in a future project.
