The present invention harnesses the power of mutagenesis to produce an attenuated RNA virus in a very short period, i.e. as soon as the complete sequence of the target virus is known and an infectious genome can be produced.

The present invention provides methods of reducing the levels of a titratable selectable pressure required, the number of amplification cycles, and the time taken to generate protein expressing cell lines by altering the codons of the desired open-reading-frames. Through the use of codon adaptation for this purpose the methods of the invention consistently provide sufficient yields in faster time frames saving many weeks in cell line development activities. Furthermore the methods of the invention also generate cell lines with lower concentrations of selection and amplification agent than previously achievable. Accordingly lower levels of selection and amplification marker in the final cells lines are observed.

Immunogenic compositions comprising one or more inactivated dengue viruses and one or more inactivated non-dengue flaviviruses and methods of making and using thereof are provided.

The present invention relates to a method for rapid generation of an infectious RNA virus that completely eliminates the need of constructing a full-length c DNA, which covers the entire viral genome, cloning and propagating such full length c DNA.

The present invention harnesses the power of mutagenesis to produce an attenuated RNA virus in a very short period, i.e. as soon as the complete sequence of the target virus is known and an infectious genome can be produced.

Disclosed herein are immunogenic compositions comprising one or more inactivated dengue viruses and one or more inactivated non-dengue flaviviruses and methods of making and using thereof.
