摘要:
The genetically modified nairoviruses of this invention possesses a viral ovarian tumor protease with decreased ability to remove ubiquitin (Ub) and ISG15 tags that the human organism uses to label proteins for removal. Exemplary are Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and Erve virus. Unlike complete knockout strains, the modified virus retains enough activity for replication in a human cell line. This creates an immunogenic and non-pathogenic virus that can be used as an effective live vaccine agent for prophylaxis and treatment.
