摘要:
The present invention provides an mRNA cancer vaccine encoding human GM-CSF fused to multiple tandem epitopes. pVec-GM-CSF-hTes encoding human GM-CSF fused to three tandem hTERT epitopes, pVec-GMKE encoding human GM-CSF fused to three tandem epitopes respectively from MUC1, Kras and EGFR, pVec-hIL-12 encoding human interleukin-12 are respectively constructed, and used as templates for generating the corresponding in vitro transcribed mRNAs, which are mixed together as an mRNA cancer vaccine. This mRNA cancer vaccine contains human GM-CSF used as an immune adjuvant, multiple tandem epitopes constituting as multi-epitope cancer antigens and hIL-12 used to enhance the immunotherapeutic effects.
摘要:
In order to improve mRNA stability and translatabihty in cells, the present invention provides pVec that is obtained through in turn constructing pcDNA3.1 -5'UTR-MCS-3'UTR- pA, pcDNA3.1 -5'UTR-MCS (no Spel, BamHI/EcoRI)-3'UTR-pA, pVecO-5'UTR-MCS (no Spel, BamHI/EcoRI)-3'UTR-pA, achieving pVecl -5'UTR-MCS (no Spel, BamHI/EcoRI)- 3'UTR-pA, referred to as pVec. It contains CMV enhancer/promoter, T7 promoter, 5'UTR, MCS, 3'UTR, poly A (120A)-TTATT, BGH poly (A) signal, kanamycin resistance gene and pUC origin, etc., and is mainly characterized in being able to enhance the stability and translatabihty of the in vitro transcribed mRNA in cells. pVec can be both a DNA vaccine or drug vector and an mRNA vaccine or drug vector. The present invention also provides the construction of pVec-GM-CSF, pVec-hlL-12 and pVAX1 -hlL-12, which are as application examples of evaluating the benefits of pVec.
