The invention relates to a truncated rotavirus VP4 protein, a sequence encoding the same, a method for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition and a vaccine comprising the protein, wherein the protein, the pharmaceutical composition and the vaccine are useful for preventing, alleviating or treating rotavirus infection and a disease caused by rotavirus infection, such as rotavirus gastroenteritis and diarrhea. The invention further relates to use of the protein in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition or a vaccine for preventing, alleviating or treating rotavirus infection and a disease caused by rotavirus infection, such as rotavirus gastroenteritis and diarrhea.

Truncated rotavirus VP4 protein and application thereof

The invention belongs to the fields of medicine and immunology, particularly, the field of immunological diagnosis. In particular, the invention discloses a method for assessing whether a subject is at risk of developing human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) active infection and a kit therefore. The method comprises the steps of: (1) determining the level of an antibody against a HCMV protein in a body fluid sample from the subject; and (2) comparing the level with a predetermined reference value, wherein if the level is below the predetermined reference value, the subject is determined to be at risk of developing HCMV active infection. In addition, the invention also discloses a method for screening a candidate drug which is capable of improving the ability of a subject to resist human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) active infection, and a kit therefore.

Method for assessing risk of human cytomegalovirus active infection in body and related kit

The invention relates to a method for preparing double-layered virus-like particles of rotavirus in vitro. The method comprises the following steps: purifying rotavirus VP6 proteins from a lysis supernatant, and in vitro assembling double-layered virus-like particles consisting of VP2 proteins and VP6 proteins, wherein the proteins and the virus-like particles can be used for preventing or reducing the clinical symptoms caused by rotavirus infection.
