Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHR) are significant global public health problems and understanding the overall immune response to infection will contribute to appropriate management of the disease and its potentially severe complications. Live attenuated and subunit vaccine candidates, which are under clinical evaluation, induce primarily an antibody response to the virus and minimal cross-reactive T cell responses. Currently, there are no available tools to assess protective T cell responses during infection or post vaccination. The present invention incorporates immunoproteomics to uncover novel HLA-A2 specific epitopes derived from Dengue Virus (DV)-infected cells. These epitopes are conserved with epitope-specific CTLs cross-reacting against all four DV serotypes. These epitopes have potential as new informational and diagnostic tools to characterize T cell immunity in Dengue virus (DV) infection, and serves as a universal vaccine candidate complementary to current vaccines.

The invention discloses a CMIP gene capable of being used as a molecular marker for distinguishing Dengue fever and Dengue hemorrhagic fever. By a high-throughput sequencing and RT-PCR method, the CMIP gene has significant expression difference in blood of normal people and patients with Dengue fever and Dengue hemorrhagic fever, i.e., whether a subject suffers the Dengue fever or the Dengue hemorrhagic fever can be judged by detecting the expression condition of the CMIP gene in the blood. According to the correlation of the Dengue fever and the Dengue hemorrhagic fever, the invention develops a kit for diagnosing the Dengue fever and the Dengue hemorrhagic fever. The kit is used for performing the Dengue fever and Dengue hemorrhagic fever diagnosis by detecting the CMIP gene expression.The diagnosis kit can be used for early diagnosis of diseases and has wide application prospects in clinics.

Therefore, the aphanamixoid A is an effective and safe medicament for treating hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

The invention discloses a new application of Chukrasone B in preparation of a medicine for treating hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Experiment researches on inhibiting hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus by the Chukrasone B in vitro and in vivo show that the Chukrasone B has a low toxic effect on cells, has an effect of killing the hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome viruses directly and can obviously inhibit the viruses from increasing, and the Chukrasone B has an obvious effect of protecting gophers infected by the virus, thus postponing the disease time, prolonging the course of disease and lowering the death rate. Therefore, the Chukrasone B is an effective and safe medicine for treating hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

The invention discloses new application of Gypensapogenin B in preparing a medicine for treating hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The research on experiments of inhibiting hemorrhagic fever virus with renal syndrome by Gypensapogenin B in vivo and in vitro indicates that Gypensapogenin B has low toxic effect on cells, has direct killing effect on hemorrhagic fever virus with renal syndrome, and can obviously restrain the proliferation of the viruses. Gypensapogenin B has obvious protective function to mice infected by the viruses, and has the functions of putting off the attack time, prolonging the course of the disease and reducing the death rate. Therefore, Gypensapogenin B is an effective and safe medicine for treating hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Diagnostic assays using IgE for detecting HIV in a baby patient or a child patient that might be infected with HIV; distinguishing between classic dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever in a patient that is believed to have either the classic or hemorrhagic version of dengue; and detecting cognitive impairment in a patient who is more than 40 years old.

The invention discloses a prediction model for the incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, which belongs to the medical field. The steps are as follows: selecting a monitoring habitat, catching rats, calculating the poison index of rats, calculating the incidence of population, and building a prediction model. The problem that there is no prediction model for the incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the prior art is solved. A method for accurately predicting the incidence regularity of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is found by making direct use of a linearregression equation built based on the poison index of rats and the people's incidence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, and a scientific basis is provided for the prevention and control of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) are significant global public health problems and understanding the overall immune response to infection will contribute to appropriate management of the disease and its potentially severe complications. Live attenuated and subunit vaccine candidates, which are under clinical evaluation, induce primarily an antibody response to the virus and minimal cross-reactive T cell responses. Currently, there are no available tools to assess protective T cell responses during infection or post vaccination. Herein, we report novel, naturally processed and presented MHC class I restricted epitopes, a subset of which binds to and activates T cells in both an HLA-A2 and HLA-A24 restricted manner. We show that epitope specific T cells can be activated in vivo in transgenic mice and in vitro in seropositive and seronegative individuals and that these T cells are functional, recognizing peptide pulsed and dengue virus infected cells in a pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic manner. These epitopes have potential as new informational and diagnostic tools to characterize T cell immunity in Dengue virus (DV) infection, and may serve as a universal vaccine candidate complementary to current vaccines in trial.

The invention discloses a new application of Gypensapogenin A in preparation for a medicine for treating hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Experimental studies on the in-vitro inhibition and the in-vivo inhibition of Gypensapogenin A for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome show that Gypensapogenin A has a low toxic effect on cells, plays a role of directly killing the virus of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, can obviously inhibit the multiplication of the virus, and plays an obvious role of protecting hamsters infected with the virus so as to delay the onset time, prolong the disease course and decrease the mortality. Thus, Gypensapogenin A is an effective and safe medicine for treating the hemorrhagic fever with the renal syndrome.
