| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the mechanism of the influenza preventive effect of Hochuekkito (Hochu), the infection system of the mouse was used and examined. Hochu demonstrates a preventive effect by the following actions.
(1) It is easy to combine with a viral particle.
(2) Hochu prevented the first stage of the infectious process (adsorption and entry).
(3) Moreover, it is based on power, such as reinforcement of raising the protective mechanism of an intracellular viral infectious signal, for example, an interferon level, guidance of anti-bacterial peptide, and decomposition processing ability of a self
