Abstract:
Provided herein are engineered cell lines. In some embodiments, cells of an engineered cell line have altered expression of a gene and/or altered expression of an miRNA, wherein the altered expression results in increased or decreased production of a virus. The virus is a picomavirus, such as a poliovirus or Enterovirus 71. Also provided herein are methods for using the engineered cells to produce virus, and methods for treating a subject having or at risk of having a viral infection.
