IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29, and certain mutants thereof have been shown to have antiviral activity on a spectrum of viral species. Of particular interest is the antiviral activity demonstrated on viruses that infect liver, such as hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus. In addition, IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29, and mutants thereof do not exhibit some of the antiproliferative activity on hematopoietic cells that is observed with interferon treatment. Without the immunosuppressive effects accompanying interferon treatment, IL-28A, IL-28B, and IL-29 will be useful in treating immunocompromised patients for viral infections.

The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and discloses a polypeptide containing two chimeric antigen receptor structures, nucleic acid for coding the polypeptide, a modified T lymphocyte, and a preparation method and application of the T lymphocyte. The polypeptide provided by the invention contains the two chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) structures, wherein one chimeric antigen receptor structure specifically targets a tumor cell, and the other one specifically targets a normal B lymphocyte, so that a CAR-T cell is effectively amplified through recognizing the B lymphocyte ofa blood circulation system, and more CAR-T cells arrive at a solid tumor part so as to specifically kill the tumor cell for improving a treatment effect on the solid tumor. The polypeptide further comprises an ScFv structure of an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, and the CAR-T cells can simultaneously secrete a PD-L1 monoclonal antibody which interdicts an immunosuppressive action medicated by a PD1/PDL1 signal pathway and T cell failure, so that the treatment effect on the solid tumor is improved, the functional activity of immune cells in vivo is prolonged at the same time, and finally the tumor recurrence is retarded and even avoided.

The invention relates to a construction and an application of recombinant Chicken Marek's Disease Virus SC9-1 strain and SC9-2 strain. The recombinant virus construction method solves the technical problem that kanr gene cannot be knocked out again by a present method after kanr gene containing flp recognition sites at two ends is continuously used twice to knock out two specific functional genes on the same virus genome. The obtained recombinant virus MDV SC 9-1 strain and MDV SC 9-2 strain are used as production strains of Marek's Disease live vaccine. The prepared vaccine prevents the very virulent or emerging very virulent plus MDV induced chicken Marek's disease. The protective immunity effect of the vaccine is superior to CVI988/Rispens strain vaccine which is mostly widely used in foreign and domestic markets at present. The antigenicity of the recombinant virus is more similar to that of Chinese epidemic strain than the antigenicity of the similar virus rMd5deltameq which has been published in the United State. The strains provided by the invention will not induce tumor and has no immune suppression effect. Therefore, the strains are more applicable to China.
