Embodiment 1

[0111] A spike gene (Spike gene) from a patient infected with SARS CoV was obtained, called Spike-Pasteur (SEQ ID NO: 1). The Spike-Pasteur was cloned into pcDNA eukaryotic expression vector and transfected into 293T cells. Cells transfected with pcDNA-Spike-Pasteur did not express the Spike-Pasteur polypeptide, as no detectable levels of the Spike protein were observed by either FACS or Western blotting.

[0112] Spike-Pasteur was then expressed in a SFV viral expression vector capable of efficient expression in transfected BHK cells. However, the yield of SFV virions was low due to the presence of 2 Spe I sites in the spike gene. Spe I is commonly used to linearize the plasmid at the end of the SFV coding sequence. Since Spe I could not be used, PSFV-Spike-Pasteur was linearized using Sph I, which generated an additional 3' RNA sequence of >2000 bases of the carrier RNA. Representative expression levels from cells infected with SFV-Spike-Pasteur were weak.

Embodiment 2

[0115] Further bioinformatics analysis was performed on the Spike-Pasteur sequence. The cDNA for Spike-Pasteur contains many cis-acting sites that can negatively affect expression. To further enhance expression, 32 of the 33 negative cis-acting signals identified were eliminated from Spike-Pasteur and an additional signal that stimulated gene expression was added, resulting in Spike-HKU-PRC (SEQ ID NO: 3). Spike-HKU-PRC was cloned into pSC, pcDNA, and pSFV vectors.

[0116] As shown in Table 1, all 19 AU-rich RNA instability motifs of Spike-Pasteur were eliminated to generate Spike-HKU-PRC. In addition, 11 of 12 putative splice donor and acceptor sites, as well as internal poly(A) and repeat and secondary sequence stretches, were removed.

Embodiment 3

[0123]The Spike protein expression of pcDNA-Spike-Pasteur and pcDNA-Spike-HKU-PRC was compared by transfecting the plasmid into 293T cells using the calcium phosphate method. Spike protein was not observed in cells transfected with pcDNA-Spike-Pasteur. In contrast, high levels of Spike protein were detected in 293T cells transfected with pcDNA-Spike-HKU-PRC (Fig. 1). The migration and oligomerization patterns of the spike protein were consistent with previous results, suggesting that this plasmid can express the full-length, native conformation of the SARS CoV protein. These results demonstrate that codon optimization of the Spike coding sequence resulted in dramatic improvements in expression outcomes.
