[0017] In this specification, the term "negative strand RNA virus vector" refers to a recombinant virus obtained by modifying a virus having a negative strand RNA as its genome (i.e., a negative strand RNA virus) for the purpose of introducing a target gene. Examples of negative strand RNA viruses include Orthomyxoviridae (orthomyxoviruses such as influenza virus), Paramyxoviridae (paramyxoviruses such as Morbillivirus), Rhabdoviridae (rhabdoviruses such as rabies virus), Filoviridae (filoviruses such as Ebola and Marburg virus), and Bunyaviridae (bunyaviruses such as Hantavirus). Examples of paramyxoviruses include viruses of the Orthoparamyxovirinae subfamily. Examples of viruses of the Orthoparamyxovirinae subfamily include viruses of the Respirovirus genus, for example, Sendai virus.

[0018] As used herein, "protein kinase R" (PKR) is a protein kinase that is activated by double-stranded RNA. In humans, PKR is encoded by the EIF2AK2 gene. PKR contains an N-terminal double-stranded RNA binding domain and a C-terminal kinase domain. The kinase domain has an apoptosis-inducing function. PKR dimerizes by binding to double-stranded RNA, and subsequently activates by causing autophosphorylation. Activated PKR phosphorylates eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2α. Phosphorylation of eIF2α inhibits intracellular mRNA translation. Activated PKR can also induce apoptosis in cells to prevent the spread of viruses. Some viruses have factors that oppose PKR (i.e., PKR-inhibiting viral factors). For example, some viruses produce decoy RNA that binds to PKR and prevents its activation. Examples of decoy RNA include VAI RNA of adenovirus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17), EBER of EB virus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4), and TAR of HIV (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5). As a molecule that induces degradation of PKR, 2A of poliovirus is pro(e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6) is known. For RNA factors, a terminator (e.g., T7 terminator for T7 polymerase) may be linked to the 3' end of the nucleotide encoding the RNA. Factors that mask viral double-stranded RNA to prevent activation of PKR include E3L of vaccinia virus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7), σ3 of reovirus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8), Us11 of herpes simplex virus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:29), and NS1 of influenza virus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:28). Pseudosubstrates include K3L of vaccinia virus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:10) and Tat of HIV (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:11). Molecules that induce dephosphorylation of substrates include ICP34.5 of herpes simplex virus (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:12). These factors are PKR-inhibitory viral factors. These factors may be natural.

[0019] As used herein, "nc886" is a non-coding RNA, also referred to as VTRNA2-1, CBL3, and hvg-5. nc886 functions as a direct inhibitor of PKR. nc886 may have, for example, the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 13. As used herein, "p58 IPK p58 is a cytoplasmic protein that acts as an inhibitor of PKR. IPK For example, human p58 IPK For example, it may have the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9. These factors may be naturally occurring.

[0020] In the present specification, "NS5A" refers to a nonstructural protein possessed by hepatitis C virus (HCV). NS5A is a phosphorylated protein, and is considered to be essential for genome replication of HCV. In addition, NS5A (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 15) can inhibit antiviral activity against HCV and encephalomyocardial virus (see Medical Journal of Kobe University, 2003, 64(1 / 2):7-15). NS5A may be deleted on its C-terminus (e.g., from the 149th amino acid onward). For example, NS5A may be NS5A(1-148) (e.g., having the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 16) having amino acids 1-148. These factors may be natural types.

[0021] In one embodiment, the VAI RNA may be (i) a nucleic acid comprising the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17, (ii) a nucleic acid consisting of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17 in which 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 nucleic acids have been deleted, substituted, inserted, and / or added, or (iii) a nucleic acid comprising a sequence having 90% or more or 95% or more identity to the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17, or (iv) a fragment thereof, and The nucleic acid may have a function of inhibiting PKR (e.g., PKR such as human PKR and monkey PKR). According to the examples described below, the virus reconstitution rate is improved by inhibiting PKR in packaging cells. Therefore, the PKR to be inhibited is preferably that of the animal species from which the packaging cells are derived. For example, Vero cells are derived from African green monkeys, and LLC-MK2 cells are derived from rhesus monkeys. Therefore, in these cells, it is preferable to inhibit PKR of African green monkeys and rhesus monkeys, respectively.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the VAI RNA may have a sequence on the 5' side of the VAI RNA added to its 5' end. In a preferred embodiment, the VAI RNA may extend on the 5' side to include the adjacent region on the 5' side. Examples of sequences added to the 5' end include the sequences at positions 1 to 84 of SEQ ID NOs: 19, 20, and 23 to 26, or a part thereof that is contiguous with the VAI RNA. For example, the VAI RNA may have the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 34.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the VAI RNA may have a sequence on the 3' side of the VAI RNA added to its 3' end. In a preferred embodiment, the VAI RNA may extend on the 3' side to include the 3' adjacent region.

[0050] In the present specification, a "packaging cell" refers to a cell that produces a viral vector. In general, in order to improve safety, the viral genome of a viral vector is engineered so that one or more factors selected from the group consisting of proliferation, replication, and spread (including infection of other cells) are destroyed and the viral genome cannot proliferate, replicate, or spread after cell infection. However, when producing a viral vector, in order to enable proliferation, replication, and spread, the viral vector is produced while the disrupted factors are supplemented in the packaging cell. For this reason, in order to produce a viral vector, the packaging cell expresses a part of the disrupted viral factor so that the amount of virus production is restored by complementing the disrupted viral factor. The packaging cell may stably retain such a factor in the genome, or may retain it temporarily. In either case, during virus production, the complemented viral factor is supplied to the packaging cell. As an example, a Sendai virus vector is classically obtained by producing a Sendai virus having a genome lacking the F gene using a packaging cell that supplies the F gene. The supplied F gene is activated in the presence of trypsin, but an F gene (F5R) that is activated by furin, which is universally present in cells, has also been developed, improving the convenience of virus production (see, for example, WO2005 / 071085A). In recent years, a technology for producing Sendai virus from cDNA has been developed. For example, a vector has been produced that is designed to further improve safety for medical application to humans, using the attenuated Z strain as a basic structure. For example, a technology has been developed to delete one or more of the F, HN, and M genes from the viral genome to eliminate the transmissibility of the virus. For example, an F gene-deleted viral genome is preferably used. The viral genome is operably linked to a control sequence (for example, a T7 promoter), and the production of the viral genome can be driven by the control sequence. This allows the Sendai virus genome to be produced from cDNA in the packaging cell.When a T7 promoter is used as a control sequence (e.g., the first, second, or third control sequence), the T7 RNA polymerase can be supplied by a helper virus such as vaccinia virus. In the packaging cell, N, P, F, and L operably linked to a control sequence that drives transcription by RNA polymerase (e.g., polII) are expressed, thereby supplying viral particle components to form viral particles in the packaging cell. For example, LLC-MK2 cells derived from monkey kidney are used as packaging cells. This results in viral particles that can infect cells once but cannot be propagated to other cells thereafter. The viral particles can be concentrated and / or purified as necessary before use. When a foreign gene is incorporated into the virus, a viral-specific control sequence is introduced as necessary to enable transcription by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

[0051] According to the present invention, a method for producing negative strand RNA virus or negative strand RNA virus vector is provided.Negative strand RNA virus includes Orthomyxoviridae (orthomyxovirus such as influenza virus), Paramyxoviridae (paramyxovirus such as Morbillivirus), Rhabdoviridae (rhabdovirus such as rabies virus), Filoviridae (filovirus such as Ebola and Marburg virus), and Bunyaviridae (bunyavirus such as Hantavirus).Preferably, negative strand RNA virus is a virus of Paramyxoviridae, preferably paramyxovirus, and preferably Sendai virus.

[0052] As used herein, the term "control sequence" refers to a sequence that has the activity of driving a gene operably linked thereto and transcribing RNA from the gene. The control sequence is, for example, a promoter. Examples of promoters include class I promoters (which can be used to transcribe rRNA precursors), class II promoters (which are composed of a core promoter and an upstream promoter element and can be used to transcribe mRNA), and class III promoters (which are further broadly classified into types I, II, and III).

[0053] In one embodiment, a negative-strand RNA virus vector has a disrupted (e.g., deleted) factor on its genome related to the proliferation or infection of a negative-strand RNA virus into a cell, and has a reduced proliferation or infection ability or no substantial infection ability in cells other than packaging cells. As described above, such a vector is conferred the initial ability to infect cells by producing it under conditions in which the disrupted proliferation or infection factor is supplied to the packaging cell. As a result, the vector obtained from the packaging cell has the infectious ability, but the vector that subsequently infects a cell other than the packaging cell cannot produce any more infectious particles, thereby improving the safety of the vector.

[0054] In one aspect, the method of the invention comprises: (A) expressing a protein kinase R (PKR)-inhibitory factor from a gene encoding the factor operably linked to a first control sequence and providing the factor to a packaging cell.

[0055] The first control sequence may be a promoter capable of transcribing RNA, for example, mRNA, and various pol II promoters may be used. Examples of pol II promoters include, but are not limited to, CMV promoter, EF1 promoter (EF1α promoter), SV40 promoter, MSCV promoter, hTERT promoter, β-actin promoter, CAG promoter, and CBh promoter. Examples of promoters capable of transcribing RNA include promoters that drive bacteriophage-derived RNA polymerase, such as T7 promoter, T3 promoter, and SP6 promoter, as well as pol III promoters, such as U6 promoter. For circular DNA, the T7 promoter may be preferred, and for linear DNA, the SP6 promoter may be preferred. The promoter may also be an inducible promoter. These promoters may be preferably used for transcription of RNA-based factors. An inducible promoter is a promoter that can induce expression of a polynucleotide functionally linked to the promoter only in the presence of an inducer that drives the promoter. Examples of inducible promoters include promoters that induce gene expression by heating, such as heat shock promoters. In addition, the inducible promoter may be a promoter whose inducer is a drug. Examples of such drug-inducible promoters include Cumate operator sequences, λ operator sequences (e.g., 12×λOp), tetracycline-based inducible promoters, and the like. Examples of tetracycline-based inducible promoters include promoters that drive gene expression in the presence of tetracycline or its derivatives (e.g., doxycycline), or reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA). Examples of tetracycline-based inducible promoters include the TRE3G promoter.

[0056] Some viruses have PKR-inhibitory viral factors to counter PKR. In the present invention, the PKR-inhibitory viral factors naturally possessed by such viruses can be used as the PKR-inhibitory viral factors. Therefore, the species from which the viral genome and the PKR-inhibitory viral factors originate may be the same species, but are preferably different species.

[0057] Protein kinase R (PKR) inhibitory factors include, for example, decoy RNAs that bind to PKR. Decoy RNAs include, for example, VAI RNA, EBER, nc886, and TAR, and their orthologues.

[0058] The VAI can have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17. The VAI may further include sequences preceding and following the VAI on the adenovirus genome. Thus, the PKR-inhibitory viral agent may have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 19. The VAI may further include VAII. For example, the PKR-inhibitory viral agent may have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 21. The VAI may have one or more mutations selected from the group consisting of substitution, deletion, insertion, and addition. For example, the PKR-inhibitory viral agent may have a sequence having a substitution at the base of VAI corresponding to the 74th base in the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17. The substitution at the 74th base in the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 17 may be any of G, A, and C, but is preferably C.

For example, a PKR-inhibiting viral agent may have a sequence having a substitution at a base in VAI corresponding to base 191 in the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 19. In a preferred embodiment, a PKR-inhibiting viral agent may have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 24. In certain preferred embodiments, the PKR-inhibitory viral agent may have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 25. In certain preferred embodiments, the PKR-inhibitory viral agent may have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 26.

[0059] In one embodiment, nc886 may have the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13. nc886 may further include sequences before and after VAI. nc886 may further include sequences before and after VAI and have the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 14.

In a preferred embodiment, the molecule that induces degradation of PKR is 2A pro and its orthologues, particularly from poliovirus. These factors can be preferably used in the present invention.

[0061] Protein kinase R (PKR) inhibitory factors also include factors that mask viral double-stranded RNA. Factors that mask viral double-stranded RNA can mask viral double-stranded RNA to prevent activation of PKR. Factors that mask viral double-stranded RNA include, for example, E3L, σ3, Us11, and NS1, and their orthologues. In a preferred embodiment, the factor that masks viral double-stranded RNA can be E3L and its orthologues, particularly from vaccinia virus. In a preferred embodiment, the factor that masks viral double-stranded RNA can be σ3 and its orthologues, particularly from reovirus. In a preferred embodiment, the factor that masks viral double-stranded RNA can be Us11 and its orthologues, particularly from herpes simplex virus (HSV).

For example, NS5A may be NS5A(1-148) having the 1st to 148th amino acids.

[0063] Protein kinase R (PKR) inhibitory factor also includes PKR pseudosubstrate.Pseudosubstrate includes, for example, K3L and Tat and their orthologues.In a preferred embodiment, pseudosubstrate can be K3L and its orthologue, particularly from vaccinia virus.In a preferred subject, pseudosubstrate is Tat and its orthologue, particularly from HIV.These factors can be preferably used in the present invention.

In a preferred embodiment, the molecules that induce dephosphorylation of substrates are ICP34.5 and its orthologues derived from herpes simplex virus (HSV).

[0069] According to the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA viral vector, comprising the steps of: (B) expressing the genomic RNA of a minus-strand RNA virus or viral vector in a packaging cell and forming a minus-strand RNA virus or viral vector in the presence of the factor {e.g., expressing the genomic RNA of a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA viral vector in a packaging cell in the presence of a PKR-inhibitory factor, e.g., a PKR-inhibitory viral factor, and forming a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA viral vector} A method is provided that includes:

[0070] The genomic RNA of a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA virus vector can be expressed, for example, from a gene expression vector having a DNA encoding the genomic RNA operably linked to a second control sequence. The gene expression vector can be, for example, any vector that expresses the genomic RNA at least transiently in a cell, and in a preferred example, it can be a plasmid vector. The genomic RNA may have the following mutations in the P protein: 511F, the M protein: 69E, 116A, and 183S, the HN protein: 262T, 264R, and 461E, and the L protein: 1197S and 1796E, in order to minimize the cytotoxicity of the vector (see, for example, WO2003 / 025570). When the genomic RNA is produced in a cell, it is complexed with other components of the virus particle (e.g., F, N, P, L) supplied to the packaging cell to form a virus or a virus vector (virus particle). In this case, the presence of a protein kinase R (PKR) inhibitor, NS5A, or nc886, or equivalents thereof, in the cells increases the production of viral particles. The packaging cells can be cultured under suitable conditions. The gene encoding the viral genome can be driven by a T7 promoter. In this case, the packaging cells can be supplied with T7 polymerase. The gene encoding the viral genome can be driven by a CAG promoter or an EF1 promoter.

[0071] In some embodiments, the packaging cells can be further supplied with SeV components (e.g., N, P, and L, and their equivalents) to promote the formation of SeV in the packaging cells. The SeV components can be supplied, for example, by introducing a plasmid vector into the packaging cells.

[0072] In some embodiments, the genes encoding the components of the virus particle (e.g., N, P, L) are each operably linked to a third control sequence. In some embodiments, the genes encoding the components of the virus particle (e.g., F, N, P, L), each operably linked to a third control sequence, are integrated on a plasmid. In some embodiments, the third control sequence can be a CAG promoter (e.g., having a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2). In some embodiments, at least one or all of the third control sequences can be a non-CAG promoter, for example, an EF1α promoter (e.g., having a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1). In some preferred embodiments, the genes encoding the components of the virus particle (e.g., N, P, L) are carried on one or more gene expression vectors (preferably plasmids). In this case, these components may be operably linked to one control sequence or to multiple control sequences. The control sequence can be, for example, a CAG or EF1 promoter.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for producing a negative-strand RNA virus or a negative-strand RNA viral vector includes the steps of: (C) Recovering the formed negative-strand RNA virus or negative-strand RNA viral vector. Further includes:

[0074] The virus particles formed in the cells can be appropriately collected. The virus particles formed in the cells can be released outside the cells. Therefore, the virus particles can be collected from the culture medium. The collected virus particles can be appropriately purified and / or concentrated. In this way, an isolated virus vector, a purified virus vector, or a concentrated virus vector is provided. The obtained virus vector can be appropriately stored. For example, the storage can be performed in a deep freezer (e.g., about -80°C), a freezer (e.g., about -20°C), or a refrigerator (about 4°C). The storage can also be performed in liquid nitrogen. The virus vector is subjected to titer measurement (potency measurement) as necessary. The virus titer can be determined by a method well known to those skilled in the art.

[0075] In one embodiment, the infectious titer of the negative-strand RNA virus or negative-strand RNA viral vector obtained by the method of the present invention is 1×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 2×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 3×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 4×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 5×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 6×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 7×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 8×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 9×10 5 CIU / mL or more, 1×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 2×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 3×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 4×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 5×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 6×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 7×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 8×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 9×10 6 CIU / mL or more, 1×10 7 CIU / mL or more, 2×10 7 CIU / mL or more, 3×10 7CIU / mL or more, 4×10 7 CIU / mL or greater or 5×10 7 May be CIU / mL or higher.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between the species from which the virus or viral vector is derived and the species from which the PKR inhibitory agent is derived may be heterologous. In this embodiment, the relationship between the species from which the first regulatory sequence is derived and the PKR inhibitory agent may be homologous.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between the species from which the first regulatory sequence and the PKR inhibitory agent originate may be heterologous. In this embodiment, the relationship between the species from which the virus or viral vector originates and the species from which the PKR inhibitory agent originates may be homologous.

[0078] In one aspect of the present invention, the relationship between the species from which the virus or viral vector is derived and the species from which the PKR inhibitory agent is derived may be heterologous, and the relationship between the species from which the first regulatory sequence is derived and the PKR inhibitory agent may be heterologous.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, a gene encoding a PKR-inhibitory factor is integrated into the genome of a packaging cell. In one embodiment of the present invention, a gene encoding a PKR-inhibitory factor is integrated into a vector (e.g., a plasmid DNA) to be introduced into a packaging cell. The integration position may be before the N gene on the SeV genome, between the N gene and the P gene, between the P gene and the M gene, between the M gene and the HN gene, between the HN gene and the L gene, or after the L gene. When the factor is RNA, the integration position may be in the 3'UTR of a gene encoding a target protein. In general, the N gene may also be referred to as the NP gene.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gene encoding the PKR inhibitory factor is integrated into the RNA genome of a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA virus vector. In this embodiment, the gene encoding the PKR inhibitory factor may be further integrated into the genome of a packaging cell or into a vector (e.g., plasmid DNA) to be introduced into the packaging cell. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the gene encoding the PKR inhibitory factor is integrated into the RNA genome of a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA virus vector, and further integrated into the genome of a packaging cell or into a vector (e.g., plasmid DNA) to be introduced into the packaging cell. By doing so, the PKR inhibitory factor is supplied from the packaging cell even while the number of genomes is small, and when the number of genomes increases, the PKR inhibitory factor is also supplied from the genome, so that the minus-strand RNA virus or the minus-strand RNA virus vector can be successfully multiplied. In addition, even after the obtained minus-strand RNA virus or the virus vector is infected into another cell (non-packaging cell), the PKR inhibitory factor is supplied from the viral genome, so that the virus or the virus vector can be successfully multiplied in the cell. This can have the effect of increasing the expression level of a target gene carried by a virus or viral vector, for example.

[0081] In one embodiment of the invention, viral particles are produced in the absence of a helper virus.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the virus or viral vector is a paramyxovirus or a paramyxovirus vector, and the RNA genome is an F gene-deficient RNA genome. In this embodiment, the first control sequence can be a CAG promoter or an EF1 promoter, for example, an EF1 promoter. Also in this embodiment, the second control sequence is a T7 promoter, and the T7 RNA polymerase can be produced by transcription and translation from a cell genome or a plasmid. In a preferred subject, the paramyxovirus is a Sendai virus. Also, in a preferred embodiment, the paramyxovirus vector is a Sendai virus vector.

[0083] In some embodiments, the paramyxovirus or paramyxovirus vector can express N, P, and L proteins. In some embodiments, the paramyxovirus or paramyxovirus vector does not express one, two, or three selected from the group consisting of F, HN, and M proteins. For example, the RNA genome lacks RNA encoding one, two, or three proteins selected from the group consisting of F, HN, and M proteins. In some preferred embodiments, the paramyxovirus or paramyxovirus vector does not express F protein.

[0084] In certain embodiments, a paramyxovirus or paramyxovirus vector has an RNA genome that expressibly comprises a V protein and / or a C protein.

[0085] According to the present invention, an RNA genome of a minus-strand RNA virus or a minus-strand RNA virus vector and a DNA encoding the RNA genome are provided. In one embodiment, the RNA genome contains a gene encoding one or more PKR-inhibitory factors (e.g., PKR-inhibitory viral factors) in an expressible manner. According to the present invention, a minus-strand RNA virus vector containing the above-mentioned RNA genome is also provided. The minus-strand RNA virus or the minus-strand RNA virus vector further has a virus particle encapsulating the RNA genome. Such a virus or virus vector can exhibit a stronger proliferation ability after cell infection. In a preferred embodiment, the minus-strand RNA virus is a paramyxovirus, more preferably a Sendai virus. In a preferred embodiment, the minus-strand RNA virus vector is a paramyxovirus vector, more preferably a Sendai virus vector. In one embodiment, the DNA encoding the RNA genome is operably linked to a second control sequence. In one embodiment, a gene expression vector is provided, comprising a DNA encoding the RNA genome operably linked to a second control sequence.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, a gene expression vector for an RNA genome (particularly SeV genome), which contains a DNA encoding the genome, may contain a sequence of a self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., hammerhead ribozyme or HDV ribozyme) adjacent to either or both of the upstream and downstream of the RNA genome. The gene expression vector may also be linked to a sequence of another factor (e.g., a PKR-inhibiting factor or a factor that promotes RNA amplification) via the sequence of the self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., hammerhead ribozyme or HDV ribozyme), thereby transcribing the RNA genome and the sequence of the other factor into a series of RNA. With this configuration, after the RNA genome is transcribed, the RNA is cleaved at the sequence of the self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., hammerhead ribozyme or HDV ribozyme), allowing the other factor to be removed, and RNA substantially consisting of the RNA genome can be obtained. For example, by linking a PKR-inhibiting factor or a factor that promotes RNA amplification as the sequence of the other factor, the other factor can be removed from the completed genome after the effect of the other factor is exerted to amplify the genome. For example, the other factor can be arranged on the 5' side of the RNA genome, and a hammerhead ribozyme sequence can be arranged between the other factor and the region encoding the RNA genome, or the other factor can be arranged on the 3' side of the RNA genome, and a HDV ribozyme sequence can be arranged between the region encoding the RNA genome and the other factor. More specifically, the gene expression vector containing the DNA encoding the RNA genome may be configured to contain, for example, a promoter (e.g., T7 promoter, CAG promoter, and EF1 promoter), a sequence of a first self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., a 3' self-cleaving ribozyme, preferably a hammerhead ribozyme), a DNA encoding the RNA genome, a sequence of a second self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., a 5' self-cleaving ribozyme, preferably a HDV ribozyme), and a sequence of the other factor in this order.In another preferred embodiment, the vector may be configured to include a promoter (e.g., T7 promoter, CAG promoter, and EF1 promoter), a sequence of other factors, a sequence of a first self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., a 3' self-cleaving ribozyme, preferably a hammerhead ribozyme), a DNA encoding an RNA genome, and a sequence of a second self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., a 5' self-cleaving ribozyme, preferably an HDV ribozyme) in this order. The self-cleaving ribozyme is merely shown as an example above, and the preferred embodiment is not limited thereto. In particular, when a self-cleaving ribozyme is used, the self-cleaving ribozyme can be arranged so that the number of bases in the RNA genome is 6n {wherein n is a natural number}. The gene expression vector may further include, for example, a terminator sequence (e.g., a T7 terminator sequence for T7 polymerase) downstream of the sequence of other factors. Various sequences of self-cleaving ribozymes (e.g., hammerhead ribozymes) are known. Examples of self-cleaving ribozymes include, but are not limited to, hammerhead ribozymes, hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozymes, twister ribozymes, twister-sister ribozymes, pistol ribozymes, hairpin ribozymes, and hatchet ribozymes. These self-cleaving ribozymes can be, for example, 5' self-cleaving ribozymes and / or 3' self-cleaving ribozymes. In particular, the sequence of Hh-Rbz (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 36) can be used as the 3' self-cleaving ribozyme, and the sequence of hepatitis delta virus ribozyme (HDV-Rbz) (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 37) can be used as the 5' self-cleaving ribozyme.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, the gene expression vector expressing the component of an RNA virus may further include a PKR-inhibiting factor or a factor that promotes RNA amplification. The gene expression vector may link the sequence of another factor (e.g., a PKR-inhibiting factor or a factor that promotes RNA amplification) to the component via the sequence of the self-cleaving ribozyme (e.g., as described above, which may be, for example, a hammerhead ribozyme or HDV ribozyme), thereby transcribing the RNA genome and the sequence of the other factor into a series of RNA. Alternatively, in a preferred embodiment, the PKR-inhibiting factor or the factor that promotes RNA amplification may be independently carried on a plasmid.

[0088] According to the present invention, a combination is provided of a gene expression vector for the virus, which contains DNA encoding the RNA genome of the virus, and a vector for reconstituting the virus, which contains DNA encoding a component of the virus. The combination can be used to reconstitute particles of the virus in a cell by co-expressing the vectors in the cell. In one embodiment, a combination for use in reconstituting a virus particle is provided, which includes DNA encoding the RNA genome of the virus and DNA encoding a component of the virus, and these DNAs include DNA encoding factors sufficient to constitute a virus particle, and are carried on one or more gene expression vectors. The RNA genome and the DNA encoding the component of the virus are operably linked to a control sequence. The control sequence may be a promoter, and examples of the promoter include, but are not limited to, the T7 promoter, the CAG promoter, and the EF1 promoter.

[0089] The Sendai virus or Sendai virus vector may further have a gene of interest in its RNA genome. The gene of interest may be a gene that is to be introduced into a cell. The gene of interest may be expressed in the cell into which it is introduced, and may cause RNA or protein to be produced. The gene of interest is carried in the RNA genome in an expressible manner. The gene of interest may be a foreign gene. The term "foreign gene" is used to distinguish it from a gene endogenous to the cell into which it is introduced. EXAMPLES

[0090] Preparation of negative-strand RNA viral vectors We expressed negative-strand RNA viral vectors in viral packaging cells, and evaluated the effectiveness of PKR inhibitors on expression.

[0091] Sendai virus (SeV) was used as a minus-strand RNA viral vector. Sendai virus was introduced into F gene expressing cells using a plasmid mixture, and collected from the culture supernatant after 3 days. The plasmid mixture contained pSeV-EmGFP carrying the Sendai virus genome operably linked to the T7 promoter. The Sendai virus genome carried a gene encoding EmGFP so that genome proliferation could be detected by fluorescence. The Sendai virus genome had a deletion of the F gene.

[0092] (1) F gene expressing cells were prepared as follows. The SeV F gene (with Kozak sequence added and optimized for human codons) was loaded into pCAGGS-neo to construct pCAGGS-F-neo. The resulting plasmid was transfected into Vero cells or LLC-MK2 cells using ViaFect (Promega), and selected with 1-2 mg / mL G418 disulfate solution (Nacalai Tesque) to obtain F gene-expressing cells. The resulting cells are designated Vero-F and LLC-MK2-F.

[0093] (2) F gene-deficient SeV was constructed as follows. Based on the sequence information of SeV-Z strain in ACCESSION:AB855655 and the information of pSeV in J. General Virology (1997), 78, 2813-2820, pSeV / dF was constructed in which the F gene-deleted SeV genome was transcribed by the T7 promoter. To minimize the cytotoxicity of SeV-Z strain, the following amino acid mutations were added to pSeV / dF: P protein: 511F, M protein: 69E, 116A, and 183S, HN protein: 262T, 264R, and 461E, and L protein: 1197S and 1796E (see, for example, WO2003 / 025570). The obtained plasmid was named pSeV / TSdF. To evaluate SeV reconstitution, a GFP mutant, EmGFP, was used as the gene of interest (GOI). The GOI was placed in front of the N gene (hereafter indicated as "+"), followed by between the P and M genes (hereafter indicated as "PM"), between the M and HN genes (hereafter indicated as "MHN"), and between the HN and L genes (hereafter indicated as "HNL"), with the amount of gene expression decreasing in that order. The EmGFP gene was placed in front of the N gene of SeV, and pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was mainly used.

[0094] (3) The plasmid for SeV reconstitution was prepared as follows. pCAGGS-NP, pCAGGS-P4C(-), pCAGGS-L, pCAGGS-F5R, and pCAGGS-T7 were constructed with reference to WO2005 / 071092, and this combination is referred to as "CAG." In addition, a Kozak sequence was added and optimized to human codons, and a set of plasmids for reconstruction, each of which has a promoter different from the above, was constructed: pCAGGS-NPco, pCAGGS-P4C(-)co, pCAGGS-Lco, pCAGGS-F5Rco, pCAGGS-T7co, pEF1-NPco, pEF1-P4C(-)co, pEF1-Lco, pEF1-F5Rco, and pEF1-T7co. Furthermore, 430P, 849I, and 880Y mutations were introduced into T7 with reference to P2001-54387A, and 644Y and 667Y mutations were introduced with reference to P2003-61683A, and pCAGGS-T7mco and pEF1-T7mco carrying the resulting T7m sequence were constructed. The combination of pEF1-NPco, pEF1-P4C(-)co, pEF1-Lco, pCAGGS-F5Rco, and pCAGGS-T7mco is denoted as "EFnpL." The combination of pEF1-NPco, pCAGGS-P4C(-)co, pCAGGS -Lco, pCAGGS-F5Rco, and pCAGGS-T7mco is denoted as EFnCAGpL. The combination of pCAGGS-NPco, pCAGGS-P4C(-)co, pEF1-Lco, pCAGGS-F5Rco, and pCAGGS-T7mco is designated as CAGnpEFL.

[0095] (4) A plasmid carrying a PKR inhibitor was constructed as follows. The sequence for evaluating non-coding RNA was carried in a pT7 plasmid with a T7 promoter and a T7 terminator, and pT7-VAI (180 bp; SEQ ID NO: 17), pT7-VAI74a (180 bp; SEQ ID NO: 18, V=A), pT7-VAI74c (180 bp; SEQ ID NO: 18, V=C), pT7-VAI74a (330 bp; SEQ ID NO: 26, M=A), pT7-VAI-VAII (478 bp; SEQ ID NO: 21), pT7-nc886 (108 bp; SEQ ID NO: 13), and pT7-nc886 (272 bp; SEQ ID NO: 14) were constructed. To destroy the BamHI recognition sequence in the apical stem of VAI (Figure 1), a sequence with a base substitution (T74A, T74C) at the 74th base of VAI was constructed. Similarly, to destroy the NheI recognition sequence on the 3' side of VAI, a sequence was constructed with a base substitution (G191C) at the 191st base (M=A in SEQ ID NO: 26). These base substitutions were designed with the expectation that they would not affect the secondary structure of the RNA and would not affect the function of VAI. As another PKR inhibitor, a pT7 plasmid carrying nc886 (108 bp) was constructed. To extend the sequence, nc886 (272 bp) was constructed with additional sequences before and after VAI (SEQ ID NO: 13, 14). As a control plasmid, pT7-IRES was constructed with an IRES sequence under the T7 promoter.

[0096] (5) A plasmid carrying a PKR inhibitor was constructed as follows. The sequence to be translated was basically added with a Kozak sequence and optimized to human codons. pCAGGS-E3L, pCAGGS-K3L, pCAGGS-Y3, pCAGGS-E3K3, pCAGGS-E3Y3, pCAGGS-NS1, pCAGGS-σ3, and pCAGGS-Us11 were constructed. E3L (SEQ ID NO: 7) and K3L (SEQ ID NO: 10) are sequences of vaccinia virus, Y3 (SEQ ID NO: 27) is the C-terminal 106 amino acid sequence of SeV C protein, NS1 (SEQ ID NO: 28) is the influenza virus sequence, σ3 (SEQ ID NO: 8) is the reovirus sequence, Us11 (SEQ ID NO: 29) is the HSV-1 sequence, E3K3 (SEQ ID NO: 30) is a fusion sequence of the C-terminal 107 amino acid sequence of E3L and K3L, and E3Y3 (SEQ ID NO: 31) is a fusion sequence of the C-terminal 107 amino acid sequence of E3L and Y3.

[0097] (6) Reconstitution of SeV in the presence or absence of PKR inhibitors The ratio of SeV reconstitution plasmid to transfection reagent was in accordance with WO 2005 / 071092. Specifically, the following weight amounts of plasmid and transfection reagent (TransIT-LT1 Reagent or ViaFect) were mixed to obtain a plasmid mix.

[0098] PKR inhibitor-free conditions: NP, P4C(-), F5R, T7: 0.5μg each L: 2μg pSeV: 5 μg Total plasmid: 9μg TransIT-LT1 Reagent or ViaFect: 15 μL

[0099] Conditions involving PKR inhibitors: NP, P4C(-), F5R, T7: 0.5μg each L: 2μg pSeV: 5 μg Plasmid carrying PKR inhibitor: 1μg Total plasmid: 10μg TransIT-LT1 Reagent or ViaFect: 16.5 μL

[0100] Unless otherwise specified below, the weight of the plasmid and the volume of the transfection reagent were mixed at a ratio of 9:15.

[0101] The plasmid and transfection reagent were mixed in 225 μL of OptiMEM, transfected into F gene expressing cells in 500 μL of medium (10% FBS / E-MEM) in a 12-well plate, and cultured at 37°C. The cells were cultured at 32°C from the day after transfection. The medium was replaced with serum-free medium (ITS-X / NEAA / E-MEM) containing 2.5 μg / mL trypsin every day. As an indicator of successful SeV reconstitution, EmGFP-positive cells were observed from the day after transfection (an increase in the number of EmGFP-positive cells indicates an improvement in SeV reconstitution efficiency), and the fluorescence intensity of the microplate was measured using a fluorescence microscope system ECLIPSE Ti2-E (Nikon) on the third day after transfection. The culture supernatant was collected on the third day after transfection, diluted 10- to 100,000-fold, and used to infect Vero cells seeded in a 96-well plate. The number of GFP-positive cells three days after infection was counted using ECLIPSE Ti2-E, and the infection titer was calculated.

[0102] (7) Reconstitution of SeV in the presence of VAI A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cell for SeV reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. VAI was used as the PKR inhibitor. pT7-VAI (180bp) and pT7-VAI-VAII (478bp) were used as the wild-type (wt) sequence of VAI, and pT7-VAI74a (180bp), pT7-VAI74c (180bp), and pT7-VAI74a (330bp) were used as the base substitution sequences. pT7-IRES was used as the control (Ctrl) plasmid for VAI. Unlike the control, EmGFP fluorescent positive cells were observed in the cells with VAI from the day after transfection. Comparing the EmGFP-derived fluorescence intensity from cells on day 3, the intensity was 18-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(180bp)wt, 34-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(180bp)74a, 53-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(180bp)74c, 63-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI-VAII, and 146-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(330bp)74a, indicating that the number of EmGFP-positive cells was significantly increased by the use of VAI (Fig. 2). The infectious titers of the culture supernatants to Vero cells on day 3 after the start of SeV reconstitution were 68-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(180bp)wt, 139-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(180bp)74a, 282-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(180bp)74c, 476-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI-VAII, and 1962-fold higher than the control in the presence of VAI(330bp)74a (Fig. 3). Thus, it is clear that VAI significantly enhances the reconstitution efficiency of SeV.

[0103] According to WO2005 / 071092, the recovery efficiency of SeV vectors is very low in LLC-MK2, and even when the recovered cells were inoculated into chicken eggs, SeV HA activity was not confirmed in LLC-MK2-derived cells. 2An infectious titer of about CIU / mL was shown (see Beaty, SM. et al., mSphere. 2, e00376-16 (2017)). In contrast, in this example, the infectious titer was 2 × 10 7 CIU / mL, and the infectious titer has increased significantly.

[0104] (8) Reconstitution of SeV in the presence of nc886 A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cell for SeV reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. pT7-nc886 (108 bp), pT7-nc886 (272 bp), and pT7-VAI74a (330 bp) were used as plasmids containing PKR inhibitors.

[0105] Comparing the EmGFP-derived fluorescence intensity from cells on day 3 after reconstitution, it was 17-fold higher than the control in the presence of nc886 (108 bp), 52-fold higher in the presence of nc886 (272 bp), and 381-fold higher in the presence of VAI (330 bp)74a (Fig. 4).

[0106] (9) Reconstitution of SeV in the presence of PKR-inhibitory viral factors A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F or cells containing only Vero-F was used as the cells for SeV reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. As the PKR inhibitory plasmid, pT7-VAI74a (330 bp), pCAGGS-E3L, pCAGGS-K3L, pCAGGS-NS1, pCAGGS-σ3, pCAGGS-Us11, and pCAGGS-Y3 were used. The fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from the cells was measured 3 days after reconstitution. As shown in Figure 5, the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from the cells increased in all test groups compared to the control. Compared to the control, VAI, E3L, σ3, and Us11 improved the SeV reconstitution efficiency in LLC-MK2-F cells by 100 times or more and improved the SeV reconstitution efficiency in VERO-F cells by 10 times or more (Figure 5). Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, the infectious titers were increased in all test groups compared to the control. In titer measurements, VAI, E3L, σ3, and Us11 showed high values ​​in both LLC-MK2-F and Vero-F cells (Figure 6).

[0107] (10) Reconstitution of SeV in the presence of fusion sequences A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F or cells containing only Vero-F was used as the cells for SeV reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. As the PKR inhibitory plasmid, pCAGGS-E3L, pCAGGS-K3L, pCAGGS-E3K3, pCAGGS-E3Y3, or pCAGGS-Y3 was used. The fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from the cells on the third day after reconstitution was measured. As shown in FIG. 7, the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from the cells increased in all test groups compared to the control. In addition, E3Y3 improved the SeV reconstitution efficiency compared to E3K3 (FIG. 7). In addition, when EFnpL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution and the efficiency of SeV reconstitution was compared on day 3 after infection, E3Y3 was 3.5-fold higher than E3L in LLC-MK2-F cells and 6.8-fold higher than E3L in Vero-F cells.

[0108] (11) Reconstitution of SeV using cells constitutively expressing a PKR inhibitor Vero-F cells were transfected with pCAGGS-E3L-Hyg or pCAGGS-E3Y3-Hyg, and the cells were selected using 500 μg / mL hygromycin B (Nacalai Tesque) to obtain Vero-F-E3L and Vero-F-E3Y3 cells, which are stable lines constitutively expressing E3L and E3Y3, respectively. A combination of SeV reconstitution plasmids pEF1-NPco, pEF1-P4C(-)co, pEF1-Lco, pCAGGS-F5Rco, and pCAGGS-T7mco (EFnpL) and pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF were used in these cells. The fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from the cells 3 days after reconstitution was measured. A two-fold improvement in SeV reconstitution efficiency was observed in Vero-F-E3Y3 cells.

[0109] (12) Comparison of expression promoters To compare with conventional techniques, we investigated the combination of CAG promoter and EF1 promoter. LLC-MK2-F and Vero-F cells were used. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. E3Y3 was used as PKR inhibitor. The effect of promoter differences on SeV reconstitution efficiency was examined using the following combinations: CAG, in which N, P, and L are all driven by the CAG promoter; EFnpL, in which N, P, and L are all driven by the EF1α promoter; EFnCAGpL, in which N is driven by the EF1α promoter and P and L are driven by the CAG promoter; and CAGnpEFL, in which N and P are driven by the CAG promoter and L is driven by the EF1α promoter. The fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells 3 days after reconstitution was measured.

[0110] As a result, in LLC-MK2 cells, as shown in Figure 8, codon optimization of the plasmid used for SeV reconstitution alone did not result in sufficient improvement in SeV reconstitution efficiency (see CAG in the absence of the PKR inhibitor E3Y3). In contrast, in the presence of E3Y3, SeV reconstitution was observed with sufficient efficiency when driven by either promoter. In the presence of the PKR inhibitor E3Y3, in a system in which N and P were expressed by the CAG promoter and L was expressed by the EF1a promoter, the SeV reconstitution efficiency was improved 271-fold compared to CAG (conventional plasmid).

[0111] In addition, in Vero cells, as shown in Figure 9, in the presence of the PKR inhibitor E3Y3, the reconstitution efficiency was improved for all promoters. However, when N, P, and L were expressed using the EF1 promoter, the SeV reconstitution efficiency was improved 48-fold compared to CAG (a conventional plasmid).

[0112] (13) Reconstitution of SeV in the presence of a combination of PKR inhibitors A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F or a cell population containing only Vero-F was used as the cells for reconstituting SeV. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. VAI and E3Y3 were used as PKR inhibitors. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution for LLC-MK2-F, and CAGnpEFL and EFnpL were used for Vero-F. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, by combining the PKR inhibitor, the SeV reconstitution efficiency was improved by more than 1000 times compared to the control without the PKR inhibitor.

[0113] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, the infectious titer of the culture supernatant 3 days after the start of SeV reconstitution was increased by 16,857-fold in the LLC-MK2-F cell reconstitution system and by 7,460-fold in the VERO-F cell reconstitution system, compared to the control in the absence of a PKR inhibitor.

[0114] (14) Reconstitution of SeV carrying a PKR inhibitor The SeV reconstitution efficiency was evaluated for SeV carrying a gene encoding a PKR inhibitor. A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used. CAGnpEFL was used as a plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV(PM)EmGFP / TSdF, pSeV(PM)EmGFP-VAI74a / TSdF (carrying VAI(180bp)74a), and pSeV(PM)EmGFP-VAI74aL / TSdF (carrying VAI(330bp)74a) were used as pSeV. EmGFP-VAI74a had the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:32. EmGFP-VAI74aL had the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:33.

[0115] The results are shown in Figures 12 and 13. As shown in Figure 12, compared with the reconstitution efficiency of the control (EmGFP), the reconstitution efficiency of SeV carrying VAI (180 bp) 74a was improved 3-fold, and that of SeV carrying VAI (330 bp) 74a was improved 16-fold. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 13, the infectious titer of the culture supernatant 3 days after the start of SeV reconstitution was 3-fold and 66-fold higher for SeV carrying VAI (180 bp) 74a and SeV carrying VAI (330 bp) 74a, respectively, compared with the reconstitution efficiency of the control (EmGFP).

[0116] (14-2) Effect of 5' or 3' addition of the sequence to VAI(180bp)74c A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cell for reconstituting SeV. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. pT7-VAI(180bp)74c, pT7-VAI(264bp)74c3p, pT7-VAI(246bp)74c5p, and pT7-VAI(330bp)74c were used as plasmids containing PKR inhibitors. VAI(264bp)74c3p (SEQ ID NO: 34) is a product in which an 84-mer is added to the 3' side of VAI to the 3' side of VAI(180bp)74c. In addition, VAI(246bp)74c5p (SEQ ID NO: 35) is a product in which an 86-mer is added to the 5' side of VAI to the 5' side of VAI(180bp)74c.

[0117] Comparing the EmGFP-derived fluorescence intensity from cells 3 days after reconstitution with that in the presence of pT7-VAI(180bp)74c, pT7-VAI(264bp)74c3p was 2.1-fold, pT7-VAI(246bp)74c5p was 6.8-fold, and pT7-VAI(330bp)74c was 15.7-fold, as shown in Figure 14. This suggests that the 5'-side sequence of VAI contributes more strongly to improving the reconstitution efficiency.

[0118] (15)Effect of EBER1 integration on viral replication A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cell for SeV reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used for pSeV. pT7-EBER (337 bp) was used as the plasmid containing the PKR inhibitor. In this plasmid, the sequences before and after VAI were introduced before and after EBER1. Comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells on the third day after reconstitution, it was 3.8 times higher in the presence of EBER1 (337 bp) than in the control.

[0119] (16)Effect of NS5A148 integration on viral replication

[0120] A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cell for SeV reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. pCAGGS-NS5A148 was used as the plasmid containing the PKR inhibitor. This plasmid produces NS5A148 having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 16. Comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells on the third day after reconstitution, it was 7.3 times higher than the control in the presence of NS5A148.

[0121] (17) Introduction of hammerhead ribozyme sequence As cells for reconstituting SeV, a cell population containing only Vero-F or a cell population containing only cloned Vero-F-E3Y3 was used. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. pSeV was pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF or pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hh) having a hammerhead ribozyme sequence (SEQ ID NO: 36) under the T7 promoter sequence. When comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells on the third day after reconstitution, no EmGFP-positive cells were observed in Vero-F cells using pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF (control: Ctrl), whereas EmGFP-positive cells were observed in Vero-F-E3Y3 cells. As shown in FIG. 15, the fluorescence intensity of EmGFP was 37.7 times higher in Vero-F-E3Y3 cells using pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hh) than in Vero-F cells.

[0122] Further experiments were carried out. A vector was prepared in which a hammerhead ribozyme (Hh-Rbz) sequence was placed between the T7 promoter of the plasmid transcribing the SeV genome and the region encoding the SeV genome (pSeV / TSdF(Hh)). The Hh-Rbz had the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 36. Furthermore, a vector was prepared in which an HDV ribozyme (HDV-Rbz) sequence was placed immediately below the region encoding the SeV genome, and VAI (330 bp) 74c was placed downstream of that (pSeV / TSdF(Hv)). The HDV-Rbz had the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 37. A T7 terminator (SEQ ID NO: 38) was placed downstream of VAI (330 bp) 74c. As a result, when the SeV genome is transcribed, only the SeV genome portion is excised by the action of the hammerhead ribozyme and HDV ribozyme, and other factors such as VAI are removed from the SeV genome. A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used. The plasmid used for SeV reconstitution was CAGnpEFL. For pSeV, pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF (control), pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hh), and pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hv) were used. Comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells on the third day after reconstitution, as shown in FIG. 16, pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hh) was 52.5 times that of the control, and pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hv) was 506.7 times.

[0123] Using the following primer set (L primer) that amplifies the L gene of the SeV genome and a primer set (Hv primer) that amplifies VAI(330bp)74c, we examined whether VAI(330bp)74c was incorporated into the obtained SeV genome. Forward primer for amplifying the L gene: TGGGTCATTCCCTGACCAGA (SEQ ID NO: 39) Reverse primer for amplifying the L gene: CAGCTTCGATCGTTCTGCAC (SEQ ID NO: 40) Forward primer for VAI amplification: ATCGAGCCTTATGACAGC (SEQ ID NO: 41) Reverse primer for VAI amplification: GATACCCTTGCGAATTTATCCACC (SEQ ID NO: 42)

[0124] The SeV genome transcribed as described above was recovered from Vero cells, and cDNA was synthesized. KOD One PCR Master Mix -Blue- (Toyobo) was used as the PCR enzyme. As shown in FIG. 17, the primer set (L primer) for amplifying the L gene amplified a part of the L gene in the plasmid (pSeV) carrying the gene encoding SeV, and also amplified a part of the L gene in the SeV genome as expected. In contrast, the Hv primer did not amplify VAI(330bp)74c in the SeV genome. This suggests that after the SeV genome was transcribed from the plasmid, VAI(330bp)74c was cleaved from the SeV genome by the HDV ribozyme and lost. Even in this case, it is clear that the effect of improving the SeV reconstitution efficiency is exerted, as shown in FIG. 16.

[0125] (18) Introduction of VAI(330bp)74c into SeV reconstitution plasmid The above (17) described the introduction of VAI(330bp)74c into a plasmid carrying a gene encoding the SeV genome. In this example, VAI(330bp)74c was introduced into a plasmid expressing components of SeV particles for reconstituting SeV. Specifically, a reconstitution experiment was carried out as follows.

[0126] VAI(330bp)74c was added to the reconstitution plasmids such as pCAGGS and pEF1, which express NP, P, L, T7, and F5R, respectively, to obtain the reconstitution plasmids carrying VAI(330bp)74c (referred to as "pCAGGSv" and "pEFv", respectively). pCAGGSv-NPco, pCAGGSv-P4C(-)co, pEFv-Lco, pCAGGSv-T7mco, and pCAGGSv-F5Rco, as well as this combination, are referred to as vCAGnpEFL. A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cell for reconstitution. vCAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. CAG was used as the control. pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF was used as pSeV. When comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from the cells on day 3 after reconstitution, as shown in FIG. 18, vCAGnpEFL-mix was 43-fold higher than the control.

[0127] (19) Introduction of VAI(330bp)74c into SeV reconstitution plasmid Experiments were performed under the conditions described above (18) but with the additional introduction of E3Y3. As pSeV, pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF (control) and pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF (Hv) were used. Comparing the EmGFP-derived fluorescence intensity from cells 3 days after reconstitution, as shown in FIG. 19, Hv+vCAGnpEFL-mix+E3Y3 was 2,836-fold higher than the control. Comparing the infectious titers of the obtained culture supernatants, as shown in FIG. 20, Hv+vCAGnpEFL-mix+E3Y3 was 29,925-fold higher than the control. Note that SeV could be reconstituted even without the use of F5R and E3Y3.

[0128] (20) Other vector configurations SeV genome plasmids driven by the CAG promoter or EF1 promoter in addition to the T7 promoter were constructed (see FIG. 21A). The SeV genome plasmid with the CAG promoter is designated as pCAGGS-SeV, and the SeV genome plasmid with the EF1 promoter is designated as pEF1-SeV. A cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F was used as the cells for reconstitution. CAGnpEFL was used as the plasmid for SeV reconstitution. As the SeV genome plasmid, pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hv), pCAG-SeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hv), or pEF1-SeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hv) were used. Comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells on the third day after reconstitution, as shown in FIG. 21B, pCAG-SeV was 1.44 times that of the control (pSeV), and pEF1-SeV was 1.6 times.

[0129] (21) Reconstitution experiment of paramyxoviruses other than SeV (MuV) A cell population containing only LLC-MK2 was used as the cell for reconstituting mumps virus (MuV; family Paramyxoviridae, genus Rubulavirus). MuV-mix was used as the plasmid for MuV reconstitution. MuV-mix contained the following plasmids: pCAGGS-MuV-N, pCAGGS-MuV-P, pCAGGS-MuV-L, and pCAGGS-T7mco. pMuV+EmGFP / mini was used as pMuV. pT7-VAI(330bp)74c was used as the plasmid containing the PKR inhibitor. The reference sequence of the MuV genome was the sequence registered at Accession:KY295913. The MuV minigenome was created by deleting all the sequences between the leader and trailer sequences from the above reference sequence.

[0130] In summary, the following plasmids were used in the reconstruction of MuV: pMuV+EmGFP / mini pCAGGS-MuV-N pCAGGS-MuV-P pCAGGS-MuV-L pCAGGS-T7mco

[0131] When the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP of MuV-reconstituted cells 3 days after reconstitution was compared with that of the control, it was 184-fold higher in the presence of VAI(330bp)74c, as shown in FIG.

[0132] (22) Reconstitution experiment of paramyxoviruses other than SeV (MeV) A cell population containing only LLC-MK2 was used as the cell for reconstitution of measles virus (MeV; family Paramyxoviridae, genus Morbillivirus). MeV-mix was used as the plasmid for MeV reconstitution. MeV-mix contained the following plasmids: pCAGGS-MeV-N, pCAGGS-MeV-P, pCAGGS-MeV-L, and pCAGGS-T7mco. pMeV+EmGFP / mini was used as pMeV. pT7-VAI(330bp)74c was used as the plasmid containing the PKR inhibitor. The reference sequence for MeV was the sequence registered in Accession:KY295921. The MeV minigenome was created by deleting all the sequences between the leader and trailer sequences from the above reference sequence.

[0133] In summary, the following plasmids were used in the reconstruction of MeV: pMeV+EmGFP / mini pCAGGS-MeV-N pCAGGS-MeV-P pCAGGS-MeV-L pCAGGS-T7mco pT7-VAI(330)74c

[0134] When the EmGFP-derived fluorescence intensity of MeV reconstituted from cells three days after reconstitution was compared with the control, as shown in Figure 23, the MeV reconstitution efficiency in the presence of VAI(330bp)74c was 120-fold higher than the control.

[0135] (23) Reconstitution experiment of paramyxovirus other than SeV (VSV) A cell population containing only LLC-MK2 was used for reconstitution of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV; family Rhabdoviridae, genus Vesiculovirus). VSV-mix (containing pCAGGS-VSV-N, pCAGGS-VSV-P, pCAGGS-VSV-L, and pCAGGS-T7mco) was used for reconstitution of VSV. pVSV-ΔG-GFP-2.6 (Kerafast) was used as the VSV genome plasmid. pCAGGS-E3Y3 was used as the PKR inhibitor.

[0136] When comparing the EGFP-derived fluorescence intensity from the cells 7 days after reconstitution, as shown in FIG. 24, the fluorescence intensity was 5-fold higher when E3Y3 was used.

[0137] (24) Reconstitution of SeV, MeV, and MuV using heterologous RNA polymerases In the following, the plasmid mixture for SeV reconstruction, including pCAGGS-NPco(SeV), pCAGGS-P4C(-)co(SeV), pEF1-Lco(SeV), and pCAGGS-T7mco, is referred to as "SeV-mix." The plasmid mixture for MeV reconstruction, including pCAGGS-MeV-N, pCAGGS-MeV-P, pCAGGS-MeV-L, and pCAGGS-T7mco, is referred to as "MeV-mix." The plasmid mixture for MuV reconstruction, including pCAGGS-MuV-N, pCAGGS-MuV-P, pCAGGS-MuV-L, and pCAGGS-T7mco, is referred to as "MuV-mix."

[0138] The MeV genome plasmid used was pMeV+EmGFP / mini, which contains EmGFP in a MeV minigenome that does not express MeV's constituent proteins (N, P, M, F, H, L). The MuV genome plasmid used was pMuV+EmGFP / mini, which contains EmGFP in a MuV minigenome that does not express MuV's constituent proteins (N, P, M, F, SH, HN, L). The SeV genome plasmid used was pSeV+EmGFP / TSdF(Hv). The cells used for reconstitution of these were a cell population containing only LLC-MK2-F.

[0139] Comparing the fluorescence intensity derived from EmGFP from cells on the third day after reconstitution, as shown in FIG. 25, the SeV genome was reconstituted not only with SeV-mix, but also with heterologous polymerases such as MeV-mix and MuV-mix. Similarly, the MeV genome and MuV genome were reconstituted with heterologous polymerases. When comparing the fluorescence intensity of the SeV genome reconstituted with SeV-mix as 1, the fluorescence intensity was 0.68 when MeV-mix was used and 0.65 when MuV-mix was used (see FIG. 27). When comparing the fluorescence intensity of the MeV genome reconstituted with MeV-mix as 1, the fluorescence intensity was 0.31 when SeV-mix was used and 0.71 when MuV-mix was used (see FIG. 25). When comparing the fluorescence intensity of the MuV genome reconstituted with MuV-mix as 1, the fluorescence intensity was 1.22 when SeV-mix was used and 0.86 when MeV-mix was used (see FIG. 25).

[0140] (25) Construction of VSV using heterologous RNA polymerase A cell population containing only LLC-MK2 was used for VSV reconstitution. SeV-mix was used for VSV reconstitution. pVSV-ΔG-GFP-2.6 (Kerafast) was used as the VSV genome plasmid. pCAGGS-E3Y3 was used as the PKR inhibitor.

[0141] Comparing the EGFP-derived fluorescence intensity from the cells three days after reconstitution, as shown in Figure 26, it was confirmed that the VSV genome was reconstituted with SeV-mix, and when E3Y3 was additionally introduced into the cells, the fluorescence intensity was 47.5-fold higher than in the absence of E3Y3.

[0142] Furthermore, a plasmid (p3vLPNP) was constructed that expresses NP, P, and L from a single plasmid (see FIG. 27A). pSeV was driven by the CAG promoter (pCAG-SeV) or the EF1 promoter (pEF1-SeV), thereby avoiding the use of T7 polymerase. SeV was reconstituted in a cell population containing only LLC-MK2 in the same manner as above. The results are shown in FIG. 27B. As shown in FIG. 27B, EmGFP fluorescence was observed in both pCAG-SeV and pEF1-SeV 7 days after reconstitution, confirming that SeV had been reconstituted. However, when T7 polymerase was further supplied by the pCAGGS-T7mco plasmid, the efficiency of reconstitution was greatly improved.
