摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds that modulate ribosomal frameshifting and nucleic acid constructs for use in methods for identifying or validation of compounds that modulate ribosomal frameshifting. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of nucleic acid constructs to identify or validate compounds capable of modulating the efficiency of programmed ribosomal frameshifting and the use of compounds that modulate the efficiency of programmed ribosomal frameshifting to inhibit the replication or infectivity of viruses that employ programmed ribosomal frameshifting.
摘要:
The present invention is based on the development of a dual promoter system (preferably a RNA pol I-pol II system) for the efficient intracellular synthesis of viral RNA. The resultant minimal plasmid-based system may be used to synthesize any RNA virus, preferably viruses with a negative single stranded RNA genome. The viral product of the system is produced when the plasmids of the system are introduced into a suitable host cell. One application of the system is production of attenuated, reassortant influenza viruses for use as antigens in vaccines. The reassortant viruses generated by cotransfection of plasmids may comprise genes encoding the surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin and neuramimidase from an influenza virus currently infecting the population and the internal genes from an attenuated influenza virus. An advantageous property of the present invention is its versatility; the system may be quickly and easily adapted to synthesize an attenuated version of any RNA virus. Attenuated or inactivated RNA viruses produced by the present invention may be administered to a patient in need of vaccination by any of several routes including intranasally or intramuscularly.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a vaccine composition containing a virus inactivated by a green tea extract, and a preparation method therefor. According to the present invention, when a virus is treated with a green tea extract, there are simultaneous effects of virus inactivation and excellent immunogenicity maintenance, and thus an inactivated vaccine can be prepared by mixing the green tea extract of the present invention and a virus with a proliferative capacity, and infectious diseases caused by the corresponding virus can be effectively prevented since an immune reaction to the corresponding virus is induced when a vaccine composition prepared by the preparation method of the present invention is administered to a subject. In addition, there are advantages of enabling the preparation of a safe virus vaccine since the green tea extract of the present invention is nontoxic, and a preparation process is economical since, unlike a chemical material-based preparation process, a dialysis process is unnecessary.
