The application provides a KRT31
gene knockout
cell line and its application in promoting replication of viruses of the Picornaviridae family and / or production of vaccines of viruses of the Picornaviridae family, and belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering. The application provides an application of a KRT31
gene or a coded
protein thereof as a target in preparation of a product for regulating replication of viruses of the Picornaviridae family and / or
vaccine production. Up-regulation of the expression level of the KRT31
gene can inhibit replication of viruses of the Picornaviridae family, and down-regulation of the expression level of the KRT31 gene can promote replication of viruses of the Picornaviridae family. The application adopts sgRNA to knockout the KRT31 gene to prepare a
cell line with lost function of a gene coded
protein, so as to promote replication of viruses of the Picornaviridae family, improve
virus titer and
antigen yield, and help to efficiently prepare vaccines of viruses of the Picornaviridae family.
