Abstract: The present invention relates to vaccine compositions comprising an attenuated mutant Zika virus. The inventors have introduced mutations at very specific positions that abrogate the N-glycosylation site on the E protein of the epidemic strain which will prevent the generation of auto-antibodies responsible for Guillain-Barre syndrome. The inventors have also produced additional mutations of the virus that result to a dramatic reduction of the cytopathic effects without affecting the capacity to produce high titers of virus. In particular, the present invention relates to an attenuated mutant Zika virus comprising a protein E of the epidemic strain wherein at least one amino acid residue at position 152, 156 or 158 is mutated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a genomic sequences encoding for an attenuated mutant Zika virus. The inventors have introduced some specific substitutions at very specific positions in the epidemic genomic sequence for restoring some fixation sites for miR-4279 that were originally present in the endemic genomic sequence. Moreover the inventors have additionally introduced mutation leading to the abrogation of the N-glycosylation site on the E protein which will prevent the generation of auto-antibodies responsible for Guillain-Barre syndrome. The inventors have produced additional mutations of the virus that result to a dramatic reduction of the cytopathic effects without affecting the capacity to produce high titers of virus. In particular the present invention relates to a genomic sequence characterized by the sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 wherein at least one site of fixation for miR-4279 is restored.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for classifying a measurement biological sample, comprising: acquisition of at least one DNA melting curve of the measurement biological sample, called at least one measurement curve; and determination that the measurement biological sample belongs to a defined group among different possible groups, by analysis of descriptors originating from the at least one measurement curve, characterized in that the descriptors comprise one or more points of the first derivative of each measurement curve and/or comprise one or more points of the second derivative of each measurement curve and/or one or more points of each measurement curve and/or one or more percentiles of each measurement curve. The invention also relates to a device implementing this method.
