A directional attenuated vaccinia virus vaccine
By deleting the TK, F4L and B2R genes and inserting a promoter, the recombinant vaccinia virus VTT-dB/T/F was constructed, which solved the problems of high toxicity and poor immune effect of vaccinia virus and achieved a recombinant vaccinia virus with low toxicity and high immunogenicity. It is suitable for preventing poxviridae virus infections and as a vaccine vector.

AI Technical Summary
Existing vaccinia virus vaccines are highly toxic, resulting in significant side effects, and their immune effects are inferior to those of replication-deficient strains. They are difficult to replicate in mammalian cells and require booster immunization or high-dose use to achieve immune effects.
By deleting the TK gene, F4L gene and B2R gene based on the Tiantan strain of vaccinia virus, a recombinant vaccinia virus was constructed. Gene editing was performed using homologous recombination, and the p11 and p7.5 promoters were inserted to form the recombinant vaccinia virus VTT-dB/T/F, which reduced toxicity and maintained complete replication ability.
The recombinant vaccinia virus with low toxicity and high immunogenicity can replicate completely in mammalian cells, activate a strong innate immune response, reduce side effects and improve immune effects.
