  • Patent number: 11952401
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of biological products for veterinary medicine, and specifically relates to a recombinant foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) with a reduced immunosuppressive activity, a preparation method and use thereof, and a recombinant vaccine strain. According to the present disclosure, it is firstly discovered that FMDV 3B protein has an immunosuppressive function, and key sites for exerting the immunosuppressive function are found. A recombinant FMDV vaccine strain with a lost immunosuppressive function in FMDV 3B protein is constructed by introducing amino acid mutations into three repeated copies of FMDV 3B protein.

  • Patent number: 11898171
    Abstract: Provided is a method and composition using ROS to increase the production of bacteriophage. According to the subject matter, a production amount of bacteriophage is increased several times in the presence of the sublethal concentration of ROS for host bacteria. Therefore, the method and composition of the subject matter can be useful for producing bacteriophage, which is used as an alternative to antibiotics that cause a serious resistance problem.
