The invention discloses a
herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) genetic recombinant
attenuated live vaccine and a preparation method thereof. US2, US3, US4 and US5 genes in a
genome are knocked out. The method comprises the following steps of: separating and identifying
vesicle liquid of a patient who suffers from oral herpes and genital herpes and has obvious vesicles to obtain
wild type HSV-1 and HSV-2; performing amplifying culture, and extracting a
virus complete
genome; transfecting Vero cells by using a
shuttle vector containing a fluorescent expressed
gene and 700bp to 2,000bp homologous flanking sequences on the left and right sides of an HSV
gene which is prepared to be knocked out; and picking
recombinant virus out under a fluorescent
microscope by using one or more
fluorescent protein genes as markers, and performing plaque purification to obtain the needed recombinant
attenuated live vaccine. The vaccine effectively induces mucosal and humoral immune response of organisms, so that the morbidity of people is reduced; and cellular immune response is excited, so that the infected
virus can be cleared, and the relapse and spreading of herpes are controlled.
