The present application relates to a medicine for treating tumors. A novel attenuated oncolytic virus strain is provided by means of a site-directed mutation of a wild-type virus matrix protein M of a vesicular stomatitis virus. On the basis of the attenuated oncolytic virus strain, an oncolytic virus vaccine is provided by inserting an exogenous gene into the attenuated strain. A medicine capable of treating multiple types of tumors is provided by the use of the oncolytic virus vaccine in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide compositions, methods, and uses for recombinant vectors encoding Zika virus (ZIKV) protein subunits, and immunogenic compositions thereof. Certain embodiments provide recombinant vectors encoding ZIKV nonstructural protein 1 (NS 1), and optionally, ZIKV envelope (E) protein and premembrane (prM) protein. Other embodiments provide expression cassettes comprising a promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide that encodes the ZIKV NS 1 protein, and optionally ZIKV E and prM proteins. In some embodiments, the disclosed expression cassettes can be incorporated into a vector to produce a recombinant vector. Also provided are immunogenic compositions comprising one or more recombinant vectors described herein, and methods for inducing an immune response against ZIKV in a subject comprising administering to the subject an immunologically effective dose of an immunogenic composition of the present disclosure.

Provided is a modified matrix protein of a vesicular stomatitis virus, wherein the protein has amino acid substitutions at position 21, position 51, position 111 and position 221. Further provided are an attenuated strain of the vesicular stomatitis virus producing the modified matrix protein, a composition containing the attenuated strain, and uses thereof in preparing a drug for killing abnormally proliferating cells, inducing and promoting antitumor immune response, or eliminating immunosuppression in a microenvironment of a tumor tissue.
