Development of Novel Immunoassays for Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) Vaccine and Preliminary Study on Functional Domain of ORF7 protein [PDF]
, 2016 水痘-带状疱疹病毒(Varicella-ZosterVirus，VZV)是水痘和带状疱疹的病原体。VZV具有高度传染性，初次感染可引发水痘，并可潜伏于患者背根神经节，在年老或免疫力低下时可能激活导致带状疱疹，具有严重的危害性。接种疫苗是预防VZV感染的有效方式，但目前使用的VZV减毒活疫苗株v-Oka仍具有感染和潜伏人神经系统的能力，安全隐患不容忽视，因此，亟需研制更为安全有效的新型疫苗。高效、精确的免疫分析技术体系是研制新型疫苗的重要基础。VZV是一种基因组约125Kb，拥有70个ORF ...
