摘要:
The invention provides recombinant flavivirus vaccines that can be used in the prevention and treatment of flavivirus infection. The vaccines of the invention contain recombinant flaviviruses including attenuating mutations.
摘要:
The present invention discloses the construction of dengue virus subgenomic replicons containing large deletions in the structural region (C-preM-E) of the genome, which replicons are useful as vaccines to protect against dengue virus infection.
摘要:
The invention provides West Nile (WN) viruses and chimeric WN viruses having one or more mutations in the 3′ terminal stem loop secondary structure (3′SL) that results in decreased neurovirulence, methods of making such WN viruses, and methods for using these WN viruses to prevent or treat WN virus infection.
摘要:
The present invention relates to nine residue peptides (ApoptoM) from flavivirus M ectodomain able to modulate specifically the apoptotic activity of diverse flavivirus, to pharmaceutical composition comprising the same and their use for the treatment and/or the prevention of flavivirus-linked infections and cancers.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a replication-deficient pseudoinfective virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family that lack the capsid gene, where the replication-deficient pseudoinfective virus propagates only in cells expressing the capsid or capsid, prM and envelope protein of the flavivirus. The present also discloses the method of producing such viruses on a large scale and the use of these pseudoinfective viruses as vaccines for preventing diseases caused by infections of humans or animals by the viruses belonging to this family.
摘要:
Methods of producing a pathogen with reduced replicative fitness are disclosed, as are attenuated pathogens produced using the methods. In particular examples, the method includes deoptimizing one or more codons in a coding sequence, thereby reducing the replicative fitness of the pathogen. Methods of using the attenuated pathogens as immunogenic compositions are also disclosed.

摘要:
A chimeric live, infectious, attenuated virus containing a yellow fever virus, in which the nucleotide sequence for a prM-E protein is either deleted, truncated, or mutated, so that functional prM-E protein is not expressed, and integrated into the genome of the yellow fever virus, a nucleotide sequence encoding a prM-E protein of a second, different flavivirus, so that the prM-E protein of the second flavivirus is expressed.
