Vaccinia virus (VACV or VV) is a large, complex, enveloped virus belonging to the poxvirus family. It has a linear, double-stranded DNA genome approximately 190 kbp in length, which encodes approximately 250 genes. The dimensions of the virion are roughly 360 × 270 × 250 nm, with a mass of approximately 5–10 fg.

Vectors having enhanced expression and methods of making and uses thereof

Disclosed and claimed are vectors having enhanced expression and methods for making and using them. Enhancement of expression is from substantially co-temporal expression of at least one first nucleic acid molecule and at least one second nucleic acid molecule. The second nucleic acid molecule encodes a transcription factor or a translation factor or a transcription factor and a translation factor. The contemporaneous expression can be from operably linking the first and second nucleic molecules to a single promoter, or from operably linking the first nucleic acid molecule to a first promoter and the second nucleic molecule to a second promoter wherein the first and second promoters function substantially contemporaneously. Thus, the first and second nucleic acid molecules can be at the same locus in the vector, or at different loci. The second nucleic acid molecule can encode: one transcription factor or more than one transcription factor; or one translation factor or more than one translation factor; or at least one transcription factor and at least one translation factor. The transcription factor can be from vaccinia H4L, D6, A7, G8R, A1L, A2L, H5R, or combinations thereof. The translation factor can be from a K3L open reading frame, an E3L open reading frame, a VAI RNA, an EBER RNA, a sigma 3 open reading frame, a TRBP open reading frame, or combinations thereof. The vector can be a poxvirus such as an attenuated poxvirus, e.g., NYVAC, or ALVAC.

Recombinant poxviruses having foreign DNA expressed under the control of poxvirus regulatory sequences

InactiveUS6998252B1SsRNA viruses negative-senseViral antigen ingredientsTranscriptional regulationVaccinia

Recombinant poxviruses, such as vaccinia, are provided that comprises a segment comprised of (A) a first DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide that is foreign to poxvirus and (B) a poxvirus transcriptional regulatory sequence, wherein (i) said transcriptional regulatory sequence is adjacent to and exerts transcriptional control over said first DNA sequence and (ii) said segment is positioned within a nonessential genomic region of said recombinant poxvirus. Vaccines, carriers, cells, and media comprising recombinant poxviruses, and methods of immunization with recombinant poxviruses also are provided.
