Research project
Outline of research project in our lab.
Please feel free to contact us for the details of the research.
Establishment of mouse model for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND)
HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (HAND) is a mild cognitive impairment in people living with HIV whose viral replication is suppressed by cART. We are establishing effective mouse model for HAND to elucidate the mechanism of pathogenesis.
Introduction Video of Division of Virology and Pathology, Joint Research Center for Human Retrovirus Infection, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan
This is an introductory video of our lab. newly opened in February 2022.
Currently, it is a small unit with one researcher and three! doctoral course students. We are looking for postdocs, technical assistants, and graduate students who want to join our lab.

Laboratory technique
This is an introduction of experimental technology for in vivo analysis in our laboratory.
Isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from human or animal blood
Separation method using density gradient centrifugation.
This technic is commonly used.
Lymphocytes obtained from animal lymph nodes
A large number of immune cells are obtained from lymph nodes. Temperature control is important.
Tissue treatment of intestinal tract
By enzyme treatment, of intestinal tract or lung tissue, cells can be isolated from these tissues as well.
