    Abstract: A mutant virus is provided which contains a mutation at a phosphorylation site in one or more of the proteins of the virus, which mutation causes the virus to be attenuated, and therefore, an improved vaccine composition can be produced therewith. The invention also relates to vaccine compositions which contain the mutant virus, as well as to methods of inducing an immune response, and of protecting mammals from infection by rabies virus. Also included in the invention are methods of producing the mutant virus and mutant viral proteins, including producing the mutant virus in a host cell which produces or even overproduces a wild-type counterpart of the mutant viral protein, which complements the other viral proteins such that production of the mutant viral particle is optimized. The invention also includes those host cells in which viral production is optimized, as well as vaccine compositions including the viral proteins, either alone or in combination with the intact virus, and to methods of inducing an immune response or protecting a mammal from infection, using the same. Also included in the invention are vectors suitable for delivering a gene to a cell of a human or animal, as well methods of delivery thereof.

    Abstract: Rabies virus (RV) nucleoprotein (N) tightly encapsidates the genomic and antigenomic RNA thereby forming the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. Antigens presented in a rigid and repetitive organization are sufficient to activate B cells to proliferate. In addition to the repetitive organization, it has been shown that RV N protein induces potent T-helper responses resulting in long-lasting and strong humoral immune responses against RV. The possibility to directly manipulate the genome of RV allows us to examine whether the immunogenicity of foreign antigens can be enhanced via incorporation into the RNP structure. A recombinant RV expressing an RV N-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein. The chimeric N-GFP fusion protein was efficiently expressed and incorporated into RV RNP and virions. Moreover, the recombinant RNP induces a strong humoral immune response against GFP in mice. In contrast, mice inoculated with GFP alone or a combination of wild-type RV RNPs and GFP did not trigger any GFP-specific humoral responses using the same immunization schedule. These results indicate the usefulness of RV-based vectors as killed vaccines against other infectious diseases.

    Abstract: This invention provides recombinant, replication-competent Rhabdovirus vaccine strain-based expression vectors for expressing heterologous viral antigenic polypeptides such as immunodeficiency virus envelope proteins or subparts thereof. An additional transcription stop/start unit within the Rhabdovirus genome is inserted to express the heterologous antigenic polypeptides. The HIV-1 gp160 protein is stably and functionally expressed, as indicated by fusion of human T cell-lines after infection with the recombinant RVs. Inoculation of mice with the recombinant Rabies viruses expressing HIV-1 gp160 induces a strong humoral response directed against the HIV-1 envelope protein after a single boost with an isolated recombinant HIV-1 gp120 protein. Moreover, high neutralization titers, up to 1:800, against HIV-1 are detected in the mouse sera. These recombinant viral vectors expressing viral antigenic polypeptides provide useful and effective pharmaceutical compositions for the generation of viral-specific immune responses.
