  • 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: 11883411
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of African swine fever (ASF) treatment, in particular to use of a compound aprepitant in prevention or treatment of the ASF. In the present disclosure, it is found that the compound aprepitant can significantly inhibit replication of an African swine fever virus (ASFV); in addition, it is found that the aprepitant inhibits transcription and protein expression of D1133L, and reduces transcription and protein expression levels of p30 and p72, preventing virus invasion on host cells. Therefore, the compound aprepitant can be used to inhibit early and late infection of the ASFV. Accordingly, the compound aprepitant can be used to prevent or treat the ASF.

  • Patent number: 11883482
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a recombinant nucleic acid of Seneca valley virus, a recombinant vaccine strain and preparation method and use thereof, and relates to the technical field of genetic engineering. The disclosure provides the recombinant nucleic acid of Seneca valley virus, recombinant Seneca valley virus comprising the recombinant nucleic acid, recombinant Seneca valley virus encoded by the recombinant nucleic acid, recombinant Seneca valley virus vaccine strain comprising the recombinant Seneca valley virus and preparation method and use thereof. According to the disclosure, a vaccine strain characterized by high antigen production capacity, remarkably reduced pathogenicity (even having no pathogenicity to pigs), strong antibody induction activity, high immune protection rate is prepared. The vaccine strain remarkably improves the biological safety and can be used for preventing and controlling Seneca valley virus in China and the neighboring countries.

  • Publication number: 20230295641
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of biology, and in particular relates to an attenuated strain of African swine fever virus (ASFV) with IPTG-induced deletion of a D1133L gene and use thereof. In the present disclosure, it is firstly found that the D1133L protein of ASFV can inhibit production of IFN-? and downstream cytokines ISG-15 and ISG-56, and can be used as an immunosuppressant with a relatively strong immunosuppressive effect. In addition, the attenuated strain of ASFV with IPTG-induced deletion of the D1133L gene is constructed. Specifically, a screening expression cassette is inserted into a position before the non-structural protein gene D1133L of the ASFV using an Escherichia coli lac operator-repressor system, to obtain a recombinant virus. In the presence of the IPTG, the recombinant virus has similar characteristics to a wild-type virus; and in the absence of the IPTG, the expression of the D1133L protein is inhibited.

  • Publication number: 20230194526
    Abstract: The disclosure belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a blocking ELISA kit for detecting an antibody to swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) N protein. The kit includes an enzyme plate coated with SADS-CoV N protein, an HRP-labeled mouse anti-SADS-CoV N protein monoclonal antibody (mAb), a positive serum control, and a negative serum control. The kit may detect positive sera diluted at 1:512, with no cross-reaction with positive sera against porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gasteroenteritis virus (TGEV) and porcine deltacoronavinis (PDCoV) etc., and the intrabatch and interbatch coefficient of variation is less than 10%. The comparison result with the indirect immunofluorescence test shows that the concordance rate of the blocking ELISA kit of the present disclosure is 99.6%, the Kappa value is 0.91, and the blocking ELISA method established by the present disclosure is highly consistent with IFA.
