Problems solved by technology

In contrast, when the RNA fragments contained exogenous coding fragments were flanked by the 3' and 5' non-coding regions of influenza A virus RNA fragments, they could not be stably maintained in virus particles after repeated passages (Luytjes et al., 1989)

Embodiment 1

[0106] Materials and Methods

[0107] virus and cell . Human H3N2 virus isolated from a single patient, localized in embryonated eggs (A / Tottori / AT1 / AM2AL3 / 94; AM1AL3) or madin-darby canine kidney, was obtained from T.ito (Tottori University, Tottori, Japan). Virus stocks were cultured in 10-day-old embryonated eggs (AMZAL3 virus) or MDCK cells in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 0.3% bovine serum albumin and 0.5 mg trypsin / ml (K4 virus) cultivated. MDCK cells were cultured in MEM supplemented with 5% newborn bovine serum (Sigma, St. Louis, MO).

[0108] Generation of lectin-resistant cell lines. MDCK cells grown to 75% confluence were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline, and mixed with Korean Sophora japonica (MMA) lectin (100 mg / ml, BoehringerMannheim) or Western elderberry (SNA) lectin (100 mg / ml, BoehringerMannheim) in the containing Incubate in MEM with 0.3% bovine serum albumin. After 48 hours of incubation, the medium was replaced ...

[0137] Materials and Methods

[0138] cell . 293T human embryonic kidney cells were cultured in Dulbecco's medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), and Madindarby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were cultured in Eagle's medium supplemented with 5% newborn calf serum.

[0139] Plasmid-based reverse genetics . As described by Neumann et al. (1999), a plasmid containing the cNDA of the A / WSN / 33 (H1N1) viral gene under the control of the RNA polymerase I promoter and terminator (called the Pol1 plasmid) and pCAGGS / The MCS plasmid generates influenza A virus (Figure 4). Briefly, the Pol1 plasmid and protein expression plasmid were mixed with the infection reagent Trans ITLT-1 (Panvera, Madison, WI), incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and added to Opti-MEM (GIBCO / BRL) cultured 1×10 6 in 293T cells. 48 hours after transfection, 0.5 μg / ml trypsin was added to the medium to activate the HA protein, and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Collect the supernatant....

Embodiment 3

[0162] To obtain a realistic image of the viral content, electron microscopy tomography was performed (Fig. 11A). Images were taken of virus particles with a thickness of 50 nm. One of these virus particles is then analyzed to reconstruct a 3D image of the virus particle's contents. The structures (rods) within the particles were colored to distinguish each structure (Figures 1 IB-F, showing top, side and bottom views). Most views of the rod are in cross section, but in views where the rod is cut through the middle, the entire molecule is shown. However, all views show the interaction between the rods.

[0163] Based on the summary results above, and the data supporting that each viral fragment contains a unique sequence important for incorporation into the virion that may contribute to the unique morphological properties of the viral content, vRNA fragments are likely to select Sexually introduced into influenza virus particles. This information is useful not only for the...

Abstract

The invention provides a packaging (incorporation) signal for influenza virus vectors, and methods of using the signal to transmit and maintain influenza viral and foreign nucleic acid in virus and cells.

Description

[0001] Statement of Government Interests [0002] This invention was made, at least in part, with support from the Government of the United States of America (National Institutes of Health Grant No. AI47446). The government has certain rights in this invention. Background of the invention [0003] The genomes of influenza viruses A and B consist of eight negative-polarity single-stranded RNA segments, two of which encode envelope glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and sialidase (NA). Influenza virus replication is initiated by the binding of the viral HA protein on the surface of the virion to a sialic acid-containing cellular receptor. After binding to the receptor, the host cell takes up the virus through pinocytosis. The acidic environment in the late endosome triggers a conformational change in HA, initiates fusion between the viral envelope and the endosomal membrane, and activates the M2 ion channel, leading to proton influx into the virion. Exposu...
