| Research Abstract |
We have produced new virus-like particles(VLPs) of norovirus and sapovirus in order to update the consequences of viral genetic variability. The immunochromatography(IC) diagnosis test kits have been developed/improved by these new VLPs. In addition to the molecular epidemiological study of rotavirus, norovirus, sapovirus, adenovirus and astrovirus that we have done, the novel diarrheal viruses such as Aichi virus, parechovirus, bocavirus and Saffold virus have also been found in diarrheal stool samples. Murine norovirus was used as a novel surrogate to evaluate disinfectants, heating, and antiviral activity for human norovirus. We challenged multiple-cell cultivation assays for norovirus but did not succeed at this moment. We also examined the binding activities of norovirus and sapovirus to histo-blood group antigens of saliva and intestinal cells. It was interesting to find that norovirus, but not sapovirus, showed high binding activity.
