The live attenuated influenza virus vaccine (LAIV) is preferentially recommended for use in persons 2 through 49 years of age but has not been approved for children under 2 or asthmatics due to safety concerns. Therefore, increasing safety is desirable. Here we describe a murine LAIV with reduced pathogenicity that retains lethality at high doses and further demonstrate that we can enhance safety in vivo through mutations within NS1. This model may permit preliminary safety analysis of improved LAIVs.
减毒活流感病毒疫苗(LAIV)优先推荐用于2至49岁的人群,但由于安全问题,尚未被批准用于2岁以下儿童或哮喘患者。因此,提高安全性是可取的。在此,我们描述了一种致病性降低的小鼠LAIV,它在高剂量时仍保持致死性,并进一步证明我们可以通过NS1内的突变在体内提高安全性。该模型可能允许对改良的LAIV进行初步安全性分析。
