Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Measles virus (MV) is a highly pathogenic non-segmented negative-strand RNA virus that causes respiratory distress and immune suppression upon infection of its human host. Human CD150 is one of MV entry receptors. Human CD150Tg/Ifnar KO mice, which are generated by crossing CD150Tg mice with Ifnar KO mice, are susceptible to MV infection and serve as a useful mouse model. Using these mice, I investigated host immune responses against MV infection in vivo.
