Replication-limited mucosal immune vaccine for influenza virus

Abstract

The present invention discloses a replication-limited mucosal immune vaccine for influenza virus. The present invention first protects a mutant protein, which is obtained by mutating two amino acid residues of NS1 protein of influenza virus as follows: the amino acid residue at position 38 is mutated from arginine to alanine, and the amino acid residue at position 41 is mutated from lysine to alanine. The present invention also protects a recombinant virus, which is obtained by mutating the codons encoding two amino acid residues of NS1 protein in the influenza virus genome as follows: the codon for the amino acid residue at position 38 from the N-terminus is mutated from the arginine codon to an alanine codon, and the codon for the amino acid residue at position 41 from the N-terminus is mutated from the lysine codon to an alanine codon. The present invention also protects use of any one of the above-mentioned recombinant viruses for preparing a vaccine for influenza virus. The present invention has great application value for the prevention and treatment of influenza virus.
