117 results about "Negative strand" patented technology

The positive strand of DNA is the one whose sequence contains the instructions for building a protein. The negative strand merely contains the complementary sequence, according to the base-pairing rules (A pairs with T, C pairs with G); the negative strand is not normally transcribed into RNA nor translated into protein.

Helper-free rescue of recombinant negative strand RNA viruses

The present invention relates methods of generating infectious negative-strand virus in host cells by an entirely vector-based system without the aid of a helper virus. In particular, the present invention relates methods of generating infectious recombinant negative-strand RNA viruses intracellularly in the absence of helper virus from expression vectors comprising cDNAs encoding the viral proteins necessary to form ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) and expression vectors comprising cDNA for genomic viral RNA(s) (vRNAs) or the corresponding cRNA(s). The present invention also relates to methods of generating infectious recombinant negative-strand RNA viruses which have mutations in viral genes and / or which express, package and / or present peptides or polypeptides encoded by heterologous nucleic acid sequences. The present invention further relates the use of the recombinant negative-strand RNA viruses or chimeric negative-strand RNA viruses of the invention in vaccine formulations and pharmaceutical compositions.

Effecting virus resistance in plants through the use of negative strand RNAs

A strategy for effecting virus resistance in plants causes the transcription in the plant cells of negative RNA strands which are substantially complementary to a target RNA strand. The target RNA strand can be an mRNA transcript created in gene expression, a viral RNA, or other RNA present in the plant cells. The negative RNA strand is complementary to at least a portion of the target RNA strand to inhibit its activity in vivo.

Chimeric viruses presenting non-native surface proteins and uses thereof

The present invention provides chimeric negative-stand RNA viruses that allow a subject, e.g., an avian, to be immunized against two infectious agents by using a single chimeric virus of the invention. In particular, the present invention provides chimeric influenza viruses engineered to express and incorporate into their virions a fusion protein comprising an ectodomain of a protein of an infectious agent and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of an influenza virus protein. Such chimeric viruses induce an immune response against influenza virus and the infectious agent. The present invention also provides chimeric Newcastle Disease viruses (NDV) engineered to express and incorporate into their virions a fusion protein comprising the ectodomain of a protein of an infectious agent and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of an NDV protein. Such chimeric viruses induce an immune response against NDV and the infectious agent.

Method for the recovery of non-segmented, nagative-stranded RNA viruses from cDNA

Methods for producing infectious, non-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses of the Order Mononegavirales are provided that involve coexpression of a viral cDNA along with essential viral proteins, N, P, and L in a host cell transiently transfected with an expression vector encoding an RNA polymerase. In alternate methods, after the host cell is transfected with a viral cDNA expression vector and one or more vectors encoding the RNA polymerase, N protein, P protein, and L protein, the host cell is exposed to an effective heat shock under conditions sufficient to increase recovery of the recombinant virus. In other alternate embodiments, the host cells are transferred after viral rescue begins into co-culture with a plaque expansion cell, typically a monolayer of expansion cells, and the assembled infectious, non-segmented, negative-stranded RNA virus is recovered from the co-culture. Also provided within the invention are compositions for producing infectious, non-segmented, negative-stranded RNA virus of the Order Mononegavirales, recombinant viruses produced using the foregoing methods and compositions, and immunogenic compositions and methods employing the recombinant viruses. In additional embodiments, the methods and compositions of the invention are employed to produce growth- or replication-defective non-segmented negative-stranded RNA viruses and subviral particles.
