Attenuation of human respiratory syncytial virus by genome scale codon-pair deoptimization
Described herein are RSV polynucleotide sequences that make use of multiple codons that are containing silent nucleotide substitutions engineered in multiple locations in the genome, wherein the substitutions introduce a numerous synonymous codons into the genome. Due to the large number of defects involved, the attenuated viruses disclosed herein provide a means of producing attenuated, live vaccines against RSV.
ROSE ROSETTE VIRUS INFECTIOUS CLONES AND USES THEREOF
Disclosed herein is the first infectious clone of a member of the Emaravirus genus of multipartite negative strand RNA virus. In particular, disclosed herein is an infectious clone of Rose rosette virus (RRV). This method can in some embodiments be used to prepare infectious clones of any species within the Fimoviridae family, such as any species within the Emaravirus genus.
ATTENUATION OF HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS BY GENOME SCALE CODON-PAIR DEOPTIMIZATION
Described herein are RSV polynucleotide sequences that make use of multiple codons that are containing silent nucleotide substitutions engineered in multiple locations in the genome, wherein the substitutions introduce a numerous synonymous codons into the genome. Due to the large number of defects involved, the attenuated viruses disclosed herein provide a means of producing attenuated, live vaccines against RSV.
VACCINE CANDIDATES FOR HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS (RSV) HAVING ATTENUATED PHENOTYPES
Reported herein are presumptively de-attenuating mutations that are useful, either individually or in combinations that may include other known mutations, in producing recombinant strains of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) exhibiting attenuation phenotypes. Also described herein is a novel RSV construct, Min_L-NPM2-1(N88K)L, which exhibits an attenuated phenotype, is stable and is as immunogenic as wild type RSV. The recombinant RSV strains described here are suitable for use as live-attenuated RSV vaccines. Exemplary vaccine candidates are described. Also provided are polynucleotide sequences capable of encoding the described viruses, as well as methods for producing and using the viruses.
