Unit introduction
Zhang Ze Force Dr. long-term engaged in the virus SARS-CoV2, the LCMV, HIV and Influenza infection and Immunity Research, focusing on the analysis of host innate and acquired immune control of viral infection mechanisms, the focus of vaccines how to induce T cell, B cell immunological memory and neutralizing antibodies, as well as the development of new vaccines. Representative work includes:
1. Innovative comparison of the 4 new Crown vaccine in populations of specific immune response reaction; it reveals 4 new Crown vaccine-induced CD4+and CD8+T-cell immunity can identify different new Crown variants; the first discovery of naturally infected with the new crown or inoculated with Ad26. COV2. S vaccine can induce higher levels of Spike-specific CXCR3+memory B cells;
2. Proved based on the protein structure engineered LCMV-neutralizing antibodies M28 can be therapeutic and prophylactic to prevent LCMV-cl13 caused by chronic infection;
3. The first discovery of human A3H-II-type protein restriction SIVcpz replication, confirmed that the A3H-Type I Protein Expression instability of the lack of inhibition of SIVcpz ability, and made A3H-type II restriction SIVcpz cross-species transmission of the model;
The laboratory will use the Virology and immunology of the method, combined with single-cell OMICS and structural biology techniques, for the coronavirus, influenza virus, for the following main research but not limited to:
1. Vaccine-induced sustained T cell, B cell and neutralizing antibody immune response mechanisms;
2. Memory B cell antigen imprinted(Antigen imprinting or original antigenic sin against vaccine-induced immune response effects;
3. R & D neutralization epitope-targeted vaccine;
4. Using high-throughput small molecule in vitro screening, in vitro Nano-Assembly as well as in vivo Tfh and GC B cell immune response detection technology, R & D of nano-adjuvant.
