摘要:
RNA encoding an immunogen is co-delivered to non-immune cells at the site of delivery and also to immune cells which infiltrate the site of delivery. The responses of these two cell types to the same delivered RNA lead to two different effects, which interact to produce a strong immune response against the immunogen. The non-immune cells translate the RNA and express the immunogen. Infiltrating immune cells respond to the RNA by expressing type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines which produce a local adjuvant effect which acts on the immunogen-expressing non-immune cells to upregulate major histocompatibility complex expression, thereby increasing presentation of the translated protein to T cells. The effects on the immune and non-immune cells can be achieved by a single delivery of a single RNA e.g. by a single injection.
摘要:
Disclosed is an attenuated flavivirus live vaccine comprising a flavivirus mutant, characterized in that the flavivirus mutant has a deletion in the capsid protein of at least more than 4 successive amino acids, wherein the carboxy-terminal hydrophobic region is not affected by the deletion.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a mutant virus of the family flaviviridae, comprising a deletion in the capsid protein of at least 20 successive amino acids, without any further deletion, substitution or insertion mutation except of the amino acids next to the deletion, which may be substituted.
摘要:
This application discloses self-replicating RNA molecules that contain modified nucleotides, compositions that contain the self-replicating RNA molecules, and methods for using the self-replicating RNA molecules, for example, to raise an immune response.
