| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rabies virus (RABV) travels via retrograde fast axonal transport within axons in peripheral nerves to central nervous system. After clinical symptoms appear, the mortality rate is almost 100% and no reliable treatment is available. In this study, aiming to develop the treatment of rabies after the onset, several single chain variable fragments (scFvs) against RABV were produced, and some of which were confirmed to bind to RABV protein inside the cells and inhibit viral propagation. Also, nanoparticle-based in vitro delivery system was constructed to deliver scFv-expressing plasmid DNAs to neural cells.
