Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention provides bacterial packaging strains suitable for producing recombinant double-stranded RNA nucleocapsids (rdsRNs), which can be used to produce RNAs encoding vaccine antigens, bioactive proteins, immunomodulatory proteins, antisense RNAs and catalytic RNA. In particular, the present invention also provides a bacterial packaging strain into which recombinant ssRNA can be introduced and packaged to form rdsRN in a de novo synthesis manner, and the rdsRN can be replicated in the packaging strain and thereby produce the target RNA. Background of the invention
[0002] Viral nucleocapsids, the nucleoprotein core of viruses, possess a number of features that make them valuable for expressing heterologous gene sequences in biological systems. Lacking the outer membrane and adhesins of intact viruses, nucleocapsids are noninfectious particles composed of the proteins and genetic material of the viral core, which retain the ability to...
