The invention belongs to the technical field of medical biology, and particularly relates to an EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) neutralizing antibody-specifically-immune plasma high-throughput screening method and application thereof. EB virus envelope glycoprotein gp350 is selected as a screening target antigen, EBV specific plasma containing a high-titer EBV neutralizing antibody is rapidly screened in a high-throughput mode and used for preparing EBV specific human immune globulin, the titer of the EBV neutralizing antibody is obviously higher than that of listed intravenous gamma-C products, and the content of the EBV neutralizing antibody is about 4-8 times that of the EBV neutralizing antibody with the same concentration. The method provided by the invention can realize large-scale collection of EBV specific plasma through rapid high-throughput screening, reduces the workload of plasma screening, is suitable for large-scale production of EBV specific human immune globulin, and has a good application prospect.

The present invention provides a mutant vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein (VSVG) and a targeting vector, relating to the area of ​​vector delivery. The present invention provides an envelope glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus having a first mutation and a second mutation, wherein the first mutation prevents the envelope glycoprotein from mediating complement-mediated inactivation, and the second mutation reduces the envelope glycoprotein's ability to be recognized by a receptor. The present invention further provides a targeting vector comprising a first molecule that binds to an endocytosis receptor of a target cell, and a second molecule that promotes the release of a substance carried on the targeting vector into the cytoplasm rather than causing complement inactivation, wherein the second molecule promotes the occurrence of endosomal or lysosomal escape by the targeting vector and prevents the targeting vector from being inactivated by complement.

The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial immunity and DNA vaccines, and particularly relates to a preferred epitope peptide of a Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus envelope glycoprotein C terminal (CCHFV Gc), a tandem multi-epitope vaccine, an expression vector and application. The preferable epitope peptide is composed of any one amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.1-SEQ ID NO.21, and the preferable epitope peptide has high affinity, strong immunogenicity and interspecific amp; and an intraspecific conservative preferred epitope. Preferably epitopes are connected in series through a linker to synthesize a series multi-epitope vaccine, the series multi-epitope vaccine enters cells to be expressed to form recombinant protein, then T lymphocytes are activated, and cellular immune response is induced. The in-vivo vaccine evaluation of animals is carried out by using the tandem multi-epitope vaccine, and it is proved that the vaccine can effectively induce anti-CCHFV specific cellular immune response and the application safety in BALB / c mice. The invention is helpful for understanding the immunobiology of CCHFV Gc and perfecting the epitope vaccine design for the virus in the future.

The present invention reveals MESD as a critical host dependency factor for Oropouche virus (OROV) infection. Initial identification was achieved through a CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screen, which highlighted MESD amongst other potential factors. The ensuing research demonstrated that MESD knockout in HEK293T cells resulted in a significant reduction in OROV infection rates. Complementing MESDKO cells with FLAG-MESD re-established susceptibility, thus confirming MESD's essential role in the infection process. Interestingly, MESD specifically facilitates OROV infection without enhancing the infectivity of other viruses such as LACV, TOSCV, and WNV. The specificity of MESD for OROV was further validated by its interaction with OROV envelope glycoproteins, as shown through immunoprecipitation assays. These findings suggest that targeting MESD could be a novel and effective approach for diagnosing and treating OROV infections, potentially paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies against this virus.

This invention provides a method for efficient multi-gene editing and CAR site-directed integration based on BaEV envelope glycoprotein truncated viral particles and its application in immune cell engineering. The invention provides an MLV-VLP system utilizing BaEV envelope glycoprotein truncated particles to achieve efficient CRISPR-Cas9 delivery without electroporation or the use of randomly integrating viruses. Combined with adeno-associated virus (AAV6) delivery of HDR templates, it enables efficient site-directed integration of CAR sequences at target sites (such as TRAC, PD1, and B2M) in primary human T cells and NK cells. The prepared CAR-T or CAR-NK cells exhibit excellent cell killing, proliferation, and low exhaustion characteristics in vitro, achieving 100% tumor clearance in an in vivo mouse model. It can simultaneously achieve multi-gene knockout with high efficiency, supporting large-scale allogeneic CAR-T and CAR-NK cell production.
