Abstract
The preliminary results of our study in vitro on the effect of Interferon on Flaviviruses showed that Interferon alpha and Interferon beta were more effective on JE viruses Vip local strain and JaGAr strain, but less on Dengue virus type 2 strain. However, the effect of these 2 interferons on the 2 strains of JE viruses were still variable which need further investigations. The JE virus Vip local strain seemed to be more susceptible to interferon than the Japanese prototype JaGAr strain. Thus, the in vivo trial on JE disease in Thailand is strongly recommended.
