Abstract

We determined whether black tea extract inhibits the infectivity of influenza virus to mice. When mice were inoculated intranasally with 10(5.3) PFU influenza viruses (10(1.3) LD50), their body weight decreased and all died within 10 days. Whereas, when mice were inoculated i.n. with the mixture of influenza viruses and 2% (w/w) black tea extract, 5 min after mixing, all mice showed normal body-weight increase and survived. Neutralizing antibody to influenza virus was not detected in nine of 10 survived mice. The results indicate that black tea extract at beverage concentration (2% w/w) inhibits almost completely the infectivity of influenza virus to mice and that in vivo reversion of the tea-inactivated influenza virus does not occur.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 October 2019.
All research outputs
#8,616,439
of 25,578,098 outputs
Outputs from Kansenshōgaku zasshi The Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases
#75
of 364 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,589
of 71,959 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Kansenshōgaku zasshi The Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases
#1
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,578,098 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 364 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 71,959 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
