摘要

Generating effective live vaccines from intact viruses remains challenging owing to considerations of safety and immunogenicity. Approaches that can be applied in a systematic manner are needed. Here we created a library of live attenuated influenza vaccines by using diverse cellular E3 ubiquitin ligases to generate proteolysis-targeting (PROTAR) influenza A viruses. PROTAR viruses were engineered to be attenuated by the ubiquitin–proteasome system, which mediates viral protein degradation in conventional host cells, but allows efficient replication in engineered cell lines for large-scale manufacturing. Depending on the degron–E3 ligase pairs, viruses showed varying degrees of attenuation. In animal models, PROTAR viruses were highly attenuated and elicited robust, broad, strain-dependent humoral, mucosal and cellular immunity. In addition, they provided cross-reactive protection against homologous and heterologous viral challenges. This study provides a systematic approach for developing safe and effective vaccines, with potential applications in designing live attenuated vaccines against other pathogens.
