Method for producing artificial recombinant rotavirus
11707516 · 2023-07-25 · ·

Provided is a method for producing an artificial recombinant virus of the family Reoviridae, the method comprising the steps of: (1) introducing a FAST protein expression vector and/or a capping enzyme expression vector into host cells; (2) introducing a vector containing expression cassettes for individual RNA genome segments of a virus or introducing a set of single-stranded RNA transcripts from the expression cassettes into host cells; and (3) culturing the host cells. The method of the present invention allows more efficient production of an artificial recombinant virus of the family Reoviridae as compared with conventional methods and allows artificial recombinant rotavirus production without using a helper virus.

PROTEIN MUNS THAT CAN FORM INCLUSIONS IN THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, METHODS FOR THE USE THEREOF AND USES OF SAME

The invention relates to a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide based on the minimum region of the Orthoreovirus muNS protein that can form inclusions in the endoplasmic reticulum, and to said polypeptide. The invention also relates to a purification method and a method for detecting interaction between two polypeptides based on the capacity of some regions of the Orthoreovirus muNS protein to incorporate themselves into the inclusions, together with a peptide of interest.

Colorimetric and fluorescent proteins

The invention relates to intracellular lipid binding proteins that bind retinoids and/or dye ligands and that are modified to transmit or emit light at a variety of different wavelengths.
