  • Patent number: 11510974
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mutated virus. Said virus can be an influenza virus of human or other animal origin. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing the mutated virus, the method comprising introducing UAG codons into positions upstream of the stop codons per se of one or more genes of a viral genome by reverse genetic techniques. The present invention further relates to uses of the mutated virus, for example, as a live attenuated vaccine, or in replication of controllable and safe virus models, and the like.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220257750
    Abstract: Provided is a proteolysis-targeting virus, wherein one or more proteolysis-targeting molecules that can be recognized by the ubiquitin-proteasome system are comprised at one or more different sites of protein thereof, and the viral protein is linked to the proteolysis-targeting molecules by one or more linkers that can be selectively cleaved. Also provided are a nucleic acid molecule encoding the proteolysis-targeting virus, a nucleic acid vector expressing the proteolysis-targeting virus, a preparation method for the proteolysis-targeting virus, methods for the preparation of an attenuated live virus, replication-incompetentlive virus, replication-controllable live virus, and a relevant vaccine and medication for preventing and treating virus infections, a vaccine or pharmaceutical composition comprising the proteolysis-targeting virus, and a system for preparing the proteolysis-targeting virus.

  • Patent number: 10087217
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adeno-associated virus with site-directed mutagenesis and site-specific modification, and a preparation method and uses thereof. Specifically, the present invention uses genetic code expansion techniques to incorporate non-natural amino acid into an adeno-associated virus capsid protein VP1 or fragment thereof, thereby obtaining an adeno-associated virus with site-directed mutagenesis using the non-natural amino acid. The adeno-associated virus with site-directed mutagenesis is equivalent to a wild-type virus in terms of production, transduction and mobility, can couple with other functional molecules, such as targeting molecules, and can carry a functional gene in a normal manner, which indicates that the adeno-associated virus with site-directed mutagenesis can be used as a tool adeno-associated virus, and applied in various aspects associated with adeno-associated virus such as finding adeno-associated virus binding proteins or using as target genetic therapy vector.
