摘要:
Disclosed herein are chimeric TBEV/DEN4 flaviviruses including a first nucleic acid molecule including a 5' non-coding region (NCR) from a DEN4 virus, a nucleic acid encoding a C protein and non-structural proteins from a DEN4 virus, and a 3' NCR from a DEN4 virus, wherein nonstructural protein NS4B includes a phenylalanine at amino acid position 112, nonstructural protein NS5 includes an alanine at amino acid position 654 and an alanine at amino acid position 655, and the 3' NCR includes a deletion of nucleotides 10478-10507. The chimeric construct also includes a second nucleic acid molecule, which is operably linked to the first nucleic acid molecule, encoding a prM protein and an E protein from a TBEV, wherein the E protein includes an amino acid substitution that differs from the wild type TBEV at amino acid position 315 and a tryptophan at amino acid position 240. Also disclosed are methods of eliciting an immune response using the disclosed TBEV/DEN4 chimeric flaviviruses and immunogenic compositions including the disclosed chimeric flaviviruses and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
摘要:
Recombinant human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2) viruses and related immunogenic compositions and methods are provided. The recombinant HPIV2 viruses, including HPIV2 chimeric and chimeric vector viruses, provided according to the invention are infectious and attenuated in permissive mammalian subjects, including humans, and are useful in immunogenic compositions for eliciting an immune responses against one or more PIVs, against one or more non-PIV pathogens, or against a PIV and a non-PIV pathogen. Also provided are isolated polynucleotide molecules and vectors incorporating a recombinant HPIV2 genome or antigenome.
