摘要:
The present invention provides AAV capsid proteins, virus capsids comprising said capsid proteins and virus vectors comprising said capsid proteins, wherein the AAV capsid proteins have one or more mutations, wherein the mutation(s) result in a phenotype of decreased liver transduction and/or reduced glycan binding affinity as compared to a control. The invention also provides methods of administering the virus vectors and virus capsids of the invention to a cell or to a subject.
摘要:
Adenovirus serotypes differ in their natural tropism. The adenovirus serotypes 2, 4, 5, and 7 all have a natural affiliation towards lung epithelia and other respiratory tissues. In contrast, serotypes 40 and 41 have a natural affiliation towards the gastrointestinal tract. The serotypes described, differ in at least capsid proteins (penton-base, hexon), proteins responsible for cell binding (fiber protein), and proteins involved in adenovirus replication. This difference in tropism and capsid protein among serotypes has led to the many research efforts aimed at redirecting the adenovirus tropism by modification of the capsid proteins.
摘要:
Recombinant genetic information (DNA or RNA), comprising a Chicken Anemia Virus (CAV)-specific nucleotide sequence and the use thereof for diagnostics, vaccination or protein production are described. Recombinant CAV protein and the use thereof for diagnostics, vaccination or production of CAV-specific antibodies, and use of CAV-specific antibodies thus obtained, are also described. The cloned complete CAV DNA genome disclosed is representative of CAV in the field, worldwide. By means of PCR with primers derived from the cloned CAV genome, CAV-specific sequences corresponding with or complementary to the nucleotide sequence described can be detected. CAV harbors a specific promoter/enhancer element which regulates the CAV transcriptional activity. Based upon this, a sensitive CAV-specific PCR and a method for validating negative PCR results and for estimating the number of CAV DNA copies present in the analyzed sample have been developed.
摘要:
The invention is directed to attenuated canine parvovirus (CPV) strains which may be used as a veterinary vaccine against CPV disease. The invention is further directed to a virus stock generated from a genomic DNA clone of the attenuated CPV strain which is used as a veterinary vaccine and is able to confer protective immunity to dogs against challenge with virulent CPV. Methods are given for the production of an attenuated CPV virus from a cloned CPV genome which may be used as a veterinary vaccine.
