THHY protects ICR suckling mice against lethal DENV infection. (AD) Six-day-old ICR suckling mice were i.c. injected with heat-inactivated DENV (iDENV, filled circles, n = 5) or active DENV. DENV-infected mice received saline (DENV, filled squares, n = 5) or 5 mg/kg (DENV + THHY 5 mg/kg, filled triangles, n = 5) THHY inoculation at 1,3,5 days post infection. The (A) clinical scores, (B) body weight, and (C) survival rates were monitored daily until sacrifice at day 6 post-infection. Disease severity was scored as follows: 0: no symptoms, 1: slight weight loss and ruffled hair, 2: slowing of activity, 3: asthenia, 4: paralysis and mortal ill, and 5: death. (D) The brain tissue was collected for determination of viral titer by plaque-forming assay. Error bars represent the means ± SD. *P < 0.05.
