Therefore, we studied the therapeutic aspect of DDTC in providing inhibition of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection. DDTC tested at various doses (10\u2013100 \u03bcmol\/kg) revealed that administration at low concentration (10 \u03bcmol\/kg; i.p.) on alternate days prolonged the average survival time (AST) of mice infected with lethal dose of JEV (10<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> LD<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>, i.c.) and delayed progression of the disease. The low dose also provided &gt;80% survival in sub-clinical (10<jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup> LD<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>, i.c.) JEV infection. Administration of DDTC to JEV-infected mice enhanced the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity in brain and level of serum tumour necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1). We have recently demonstrated the production of nitric oxide (NO) via induction of iNOS activity is meditated by circulating macrophage-derived factor (MDF), which may be responsible for the delayed progression of the disease. DDTC-mediated inhibition of JEV is believed to involve the augmentation of protective role of MDF as evidenced by the observation that pretreatment with anti-MDF antibody significantly decreased the AST of mice and together with the inhibition of iNOS activity. Interestingly, DDTC alone did not stimulate iNOS and TNF-\u03b1 in mock-infected normal mice. These results show that DDTC may have a possible therapeutic role during JEV infection.
