Attenuated reovirus-based vaccine composition and use thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to an attenuated reovirus-based vaccine composition and a use thereof, the attenuated reovirus, according to the present invention, having the 251st to 455th amino acids of a sigma-1 protein of a capsid truncated such that when an epitope of an antigenic protein inducing cancer or infectious disease is introduced to the truncated site of the sigma-1 protein, the epitope of the antigenic protein is stably expressed in a cell, and thus the effect is gained of exhibiting an immune response such as producing a neutralizing antibody or inducing cell-mediated immunity. As such, the present invention is expected to be usefully employable as a vaccine composition for cancer or infectious disease by introducing the epitope of the antigenic protein to the truncated site of the sigma-1 protein of the attenuated reovirus according to the present invention.
