Zika Virus Attenuation by Codon Pair Deoptimization Induces Sterilizing Immunity in Mouse Models
20 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Due to unprecedented epidemics of Zika virus (ZIKV) across the Americas and the unexpected clinical symptoms, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, microcephaly, and other birth defects in humans, there is an urgent need for ZIKV vaccine development. Here we provided the first attenuated versions of ZIKV with two important genes (E and/or NS1) that were subjected to codon pair deoptimization. Compared to parental...
