This invention relates to the fields of genetic engineering, virus replication and gene transfer. More specifically, this invention relates to polynucleotide construct, recombinant virus, transposon, and their vectors, wherein an ori derived from a DNA virus capable of replicating in vertebrate cells is inserted into the retrovirus, allowing the retrovirus following the reverse transcription to efficiently replicate as extrachromosomal or episomal DNA without the necessity of integration into the host cell chromosome. Additionally, this invention relates to polynucleotide construct, recombinant virus, transposon, and their vectors replicating episomally without aid of an ori and related elements. Also, this invention encompasses preventive, therapeutic, and diagnostic applications employing said constructs, viruses and vectors.

The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical and biological engineering, and relates to a CRISPR/Cas9 recombinant lentiviral vector for human immunodeficiency virus gene therapy and a lentivirus of the CRISPR/Cas9 recombinant lentiviral vector. The recombinant lentiviral vector is prepared by carrying out enzyme digestion on a lentiviral vectorlentiCRISPR by BsmBI and connecting into a BsmBI cohesive end-containing CXCR4 specific target sequence to recombine; the obtained CRISPR/Cas9 recombinant lentiviral vector is capable of mutating gene sequences at four different loci of ahuman immunodeficiency virusco-receptor CXCR4 and themutatuin rate is high and up to 25-75%. The cells transformed by the recombinant lentiviral vector cannot be infected by the human immunodeficiency virus. Compared with theRNAi-Knockdown, ZFN and TALEN technologies, the method has higher efficiency of suppressing the human immunodeficiency virus replication; the system is rapid to construct, simple and low in cost, is capable of preventing the invasion of the human immunodeficiency virus and is suitable for human immunodeficiency virus gene therapy.

The present invention describes recombinant adenoviral vectors modified by incorporating targeting ligands or label into viral capsid or structural proteins. In one embodiment, single-chain antibody was introduced into the minor capsid proteins pIIIa or pIX so that the adenoviral vector can be targeted to a particular cell type. In another embodiment, there is provided a noninvasive imaging strategy useful for monitoring the replication and spread of conditionally replicative adenoviral vectors. Viral structural proteins such as pIX capsid protein, core proteins mu, V and VII were expressed as fusion protein with a fluorescent label. Once incorporated into the virions, detection of the structural fusion protein label would indicate the localization of the disseminated viral progeny. The detected fluorescent signals also closely correlate with the level of viral replication and progeny production.
