    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: The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants and children throughout the world. RSV is a major cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants under one year of age, and is a major cause of fatal respiratory tract disease in these infants. The treatment and prevention of RSV infection has been problematic. However, the present invention addresses some of these concerns by providing attenuated RSV strains that are suitable for inclusion in immunizing compositions. Specifically, the present invention is directed toward the introduction of growth restriction mutations into incompletely attenuated host range-restricted cold-passaged respiratory syncytial virus (cpRSV) strains by further passage of the strains at increasingly reduced temperatures to produce derivative strains which are more satisfactorily attenuated. These cold-adaptation (ca) approaches were used to introduce further attenuation in the parental RSV virus cpRSV-3131, which is incompletely attenuated in seronegative children. Mutants of the parental strain were obtained by selecting for large plaque production at reduced temperatures. An RSV cp-3131 derivative, designated D1, was isolated that produces large plaques at 25° C. Biologically cloned virus D1 produces distinctly and uniformly larger plaques at 25° C. as compared to the parental attenuated strain cpRSV-3131 or wild-type strain A2. Thus, D1 is an attenuated cold-adapted, but not temperature-sensitive, RSV mutant. The invention also provides methods for stimulating RSV-specific immune responses in an individual through the administration of said mutants.
