    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV)

    [0044] African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of African swine fever (ASF). The genome structure of ASFV is known in the art, as detailed in Chapman et al. 2008 J. Gen. Virol. 89: 397-408. ASFV is a large, icosahedral, double-stranded DNA virus with a linear genome containing at least 150 genes. The number of genes differs slightly between different isolates of the virus. ASFV has similarities to the other large DNA viruses, e.g., poxvirus, iridovirus and mimivirus. In common with other viral haemorrhagic fevers, the main target cells for replication are those of monocyte, macrophage lineage.

    [0045] Based on sequence variation in the C-terminal region of the B646L gene encoding the major capsid protein p72, 22 ASFV genotypes (I-XXII) have been identified. All ASFV p72 genotypes have been circulating in eastern and southern Africa. Genotype I has been circulating in Europe, South America, the Caribbean and western Africa.

    ASFV Isolates

    [0056] The attenuated ASF virus of the present invention may be derivable from a wild-type ASF virus isolate, but includes mutations in its genome such that the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted.

    [0057] The term “wild-type” indicates that the virus existed (at some point) in the field, and was isolated from a natural host, such as a domestic pig, tick or warthog. ASFV isolates described to date are summarised in Table 1 below, together with their Genbank Accession numbers.

    [0058] The genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention may correspond to any ASFV genotype. The genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention may essentially correspond to any ASFV genotype.

    [0059] The term “corresponds to” means that the remainder of the genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention is the same as a wild-type strain (i.e. a virus that existed at some point in the field). “The remainder of the genome” refers to all genes other than the disrupted genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R. In other words, the genes of the attenuated ASFV of the invention may be the same as the genes of the wild-type strain, except for the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R. In an embodiment the genes of the attenuated ASFV of the invention are the same as the genes of the wild-type strain, except for DP148R, EP153R and EP402R.

    [0060] The disrupted genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R may also correspond to the wild-type strain. In an embodiment the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R correspond to the wild-type strain. In such an embodiment (i.e. where DP148R, EP153R and EP402R correspond to the wild-type strain) expression and/or activity of DP148R, EP153R and EP402R may be disrupted by one or more mutation in an intergenic region such as a promoter. In other words, the DP148R, EP153R and EP402R genes are the same as in the wild-type genome but their expression or activity is altered by mutation of a non-genic sequence. Thus all of the genes of the attenuated ASFV of the invention may be the same as the genes of the wild-type strain. In an embodiment all genes of the attenuated ASFV of the invention are the same as the genes of the wild-type strain.

    [0061] The term “essentially corresponds to” means the same as “corresponds to” with the additional exception that the remainder of the genome may comprise one or more mutations. The one or more mutations may be in other genes (i.e. not in the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R).

    [0062] The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype I. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype II. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype III. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype IV. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype V. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype VI. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype VII. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype VIII. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype IX. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype X.

    [0063] The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype I. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype II.

    [0064] Preferably, the genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to genotype I.

    [0065] The genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention may correspond or essentially correspond to that of a virulent ASFV strain. Known virulent ASF virus strains include: Georgia 2007/1, Benin 97/1, Kenyan, Malawi Lil20/1, Pretorisuskop/96/4 and Tengani 62. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to that of the Benin 97/1 strain. The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to that of the Georgia 2007/1 strain.

    [0066] The genome of the attenuated ASFV may correspond or essentially correspond to that of the Benin 97/1 strain.

    [0067] The genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention may correspond or essentially correspond to that of an ASFV strain whose virulence is currently unknown, for example: Mkuzi, Warmbaths and Warthog.

    [0068] In an embodiment the genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention does not correspond to that of OURT88/3. In an embodiment the genome of the attenuated ASFV of the invention does not correspond to that of NH/P68. In an embodiment the attenuated ASFV of the invention is not OURT88/3. In an embodiment the attenuated ASFV of the invention is not NH/P68. In an embodiment the attenuated ASFV of the invention is neither OURT88/3 nor NH/P68.

    [0069] The complete genome for the African swine fever virus Benin 97/1 pathogenic isolate is given in Genbank Locus: AM712239.1. The complete BA71 isolate genome encodes 151 open reading frames (ORFs), the Benin 97/1 isolate encodes 157 ORFs and the OURT88/3 isolate encodes 151 ORFs.

    Multigene Families (MGFs)

    [0070] ASFV contains five multi-gene families which are present in the left and right variable regions of the genome. The MGFs are named after the average number of codons present in each gene: MGF100, 110, 300, 360 and 505/530. The N-terminal regions of members of MGFs 300, 360 and 505/530 share significant similarity with each other. It has been shown the MGF 360 and 505 families encode genes essential for host range function that involves promotion of infected-cell survival and suppression of type I interferon response.

    [0071] The attenuated ASFV according to the present invention comprises a functional version of one or more of the following genes: [0072] multigene family (MGF) 110 3L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 10L, 11L and 12L, [0073] MGF 360 5L, 6L, 7L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 20R, 21R and 22R, and [0074] MGF 505 1R, 2R and 6R.

    [0075] In a further aspect the invention provides an attenuated African Swine Fever (ASF) virus in which the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted;

    and which comprises a functional version of one or more of the following genes: [0076] multigene family (MGF) 110 11L and 12L, [0077] MGF 360 6L, 10L, 11 L, 12L, 13L, and 14L, and [0078] MGF 505 1R and 2R.

    [0079] Suitably, in one embodiment the invention provides an ASFV in which the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted;

    and which comprises a functional version of one or more of the following genes: [0080] multigene family (MGF) 110 5L, 6L, 8L, and 12L, and [0081] MGF 360 6L, 10L, 11 L, 12L, 13L, 14L and 21R, and [0082] MGF 505 1R and 2R.

    [0083] Suitably, in one embodiment the invention provides an ASFV in which the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted;

    and which comprises a functional version of one or more of the following genes: [0084] multigene family (MGF) 110 6L, 8L, and 12L, and [0085] MGF 360 6L, 10L, 11 L, 12L, 13L, 14L and 21R, and [0086] MGF 505 1R and 2R.

    [0087] Suitably, in one embodiment the invention provides an ASFV in which the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted;

    and which comprises a functional version of one or more of the following genes: [0088] multigene family (MGF) 110 12L, and [0089] MGF 360 6L, 10L, 11 L, 12L, 13L, 14L, and [0090] MGF 505 1R and 2R.

    [0091] Suitably, in one embodiment the invention provides an ASFV in which the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted;

    [0124] The DP148R gene is located close to the right end of the ASFV genome, at position 177915 to 178679 on the Benin 97/1 genome. The DP148R gene may also be referred to as MGF 360 18R. DP148R is expressed at early times post-infection. The amino acid sequence of the DP148R protein has no significant similarity to other proteins; the secondary structure is predicted to be predominantly helical, but no signal peptide or transmembrane domains are evident.

    [0125] DP148R inhibits type I interferon. DP148R also inhibits activation of the NF-κB transcription factor (see FIG. 7). DP148R inhibits nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-κB (see FIG. 8). NF-κB controls expression of interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokines as part of the host's innate immune system response to viral infection. The inhibition of NF-κB by DP148R would results in decreased amounts of type I interferon (IFN) and pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines produced by cells infected with ASFV and allow ASFV to circumvent the host innate immune response, favouring virus replication and disrupting the development of adaptive responses.

    [0126] The gene (i.e. nucleotide) sequences and positions in the genome of DP148R genes from different ASFV strains are presented below.

    EP153R

    [0132] The EP153R gene is expressed both early and late in infection. EP153R may also be referred to as 8CR. The EP153R protein is a C-type lectin. C-type animal lectins are found in serum, the extracellular matrix and cell membranes and are thought to act as receptors for carbohydrate ligands. The EP153R protein comprises a C-type lectin domain, a cell attachment sequence (RGD) and a transmembrane domain, and has similarity with CD44 molecules involved in T cell activation.

    [0133] The gene (i.e. nucleotide) sequences and positions in the genome of EP153R genes from different ASFV strains are presented below.

    [0137] Suitably, the EP153R gene encodes a protein comprising the sequence of SEQ ID No. 20, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225 226, 227 or 228. Suitably, the EP153R gene encodes a protein comprising a sequence having at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% or at least 95% identity with SEQ ID No. 20, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225 226, 227 or 228. Suitably, the EP153R gene encodes a protein consisting of the sequence of SEQ ID No. 20, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225 226, 227 or 228.

    [0138] EP153R is immunogenic (i.e. evokes an immune response) (Burmakina et al. 2019 J. Gen. Virol. 100: 259-265). EP153R inhibits capsase-3 activation during ASFV infection and thereby has an inhibitory effect on apoptosis. EP153R is required for haemadsorption. EP153R also inhibits MHC-I expression in infected cells.

    EP402R

    [0139] The EP402R gene encodes a protein which is incorporated in the external layer of the virus and is partly similar to the mammalian T-lymphocyte surface adhesion receptor CD2. In particular, the N-terminal extracellular region of the EP402R protein consists of two immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) domains similar to the extracellular ligand-binding region of CD2. The N-terminal extracellular domain of the EP402R protein may be referred to as the “ligand-binding domain”. The cytoplasmic domain of EP402R protein is dissimilar to CD2. The EP402R protein may be referred to as CD2v due to this similarity.

    [0140] EP402R is immunogenic (i.e. evokes an immune response) (Netherton et al. 2019 Front. Immunol. 10, 1318). EP402R is required for haemadsorption and may have a role in virus entry or spread. EP402R can bind the host protein AP-1. The functions of EP402R may be mediated by its extracellular, N-terminal, Ig-like domain binding to ligands in the same manner that mammalian CD2 binds extracellular adhesion molecules.

    [0141] The gene (i.e. nucleotide) sequences and positions in the genome of EP402R genes from different ASFV strains are presented below.

    Haemadsorption

    [0150] Haemadsorption is the phenomenon whereby cells infected with ASFV adsorb erythrocytes (red blood cells) on their surface. The degree of haemadsorption induced by an ASFV may be measured using a haemadsorption assay such as described herein. For example, cells may be transfected with a protein or infected with an ASFV, then red blood cells added and the degree of haemadsorption detected by imaging. In this way, different proteins and viruses can be tested for their effect on haemadsorption.

    [0151] EP402R and EP153R are involved in mediating haemadsorption of ASFV-infected cells.

    [0152] In an embodiment the invention provides an attenuated ASF virus which has reduced haemadsorption.

    [0153] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASF virus of the invention, the ability of the EP153R gene and/or the EP402R gene to mediate haemadsorption may be disrupted. In an embodiment, the ability of the EP153R gene to mediate haemadsorption may be disrupted.

    [0154] In an embodiment, the ability of the EP402R gene to mediate haemadsorption may be disrupted.

    [0155] Reducing haemadsorption or disrupting the ability to mediate haemadsorption means that cells infected with the attenuated ASFV of the invention or transfected with a mutant, non-functional EP153R or EP402R protein adsorb fewer red blood cells to their surface than cells infected with a wild-type ASFV or transfected with a wild-type EP153R or EP402R protein. The number of red blood cells adsorbed to the surface of the infected/transfected cells may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. In an embodiment, haemadsorption is abolished i.e. no red blood cells adsorb to the surface of cells infected with the attenuated ASFV of the invention or transfected with a mutant, non-functional EP153R or EP402R protein.

    Gene Expression

    [0156] The attenuated African Swine Fever (ASF) virus of one embodiment of the present invention has disrupted expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R. These genes may be referred to herein as the “disrupted genes”.

    [0157] In an embodiment the invention provides an attenuated ASFV in which expression of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted.

    [0158] The term “expression” with respect to a gene refers to the ability of the ASF virus to produce the product of the gene, such as RNA and/or protein. Disruption of expression of a gene means that production of the gene product is decreased. Expression of the gene may be decreased by at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% and/or at least 95%. Expression of the gene may be decreased to the extent that production of the gene product, such as RNA and/or protein, is entirely abolished (i.e. the gene product is not produced at all). Disruption of gene expression decreases expression of the gene relative to the expression of the gene when it is not disrupted. For example, a mutated gene may have decreased expression in comparison to a wild-type version of the gene.

    [0159] A gene the expression of which is disrupted may not be fully transcribed and translated. Transcription of the gene may be decreased by at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% and/or at least 95%. Transcription of the gene may be abolished (i.e. the gene may not be transcribed). Translation of the gene may be decreased by at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% and/or at least 95%. Translation of the gene may be abolished. The gene may be transcribed but not translated. The gene may be transcribed and translated but the protein too rapidly degraded to carry out its function. The gene may be transcribed and translated but the protein may be non-functional.

    [0160] Gene expression may be measured by techniques known in the art. For example, the amount of mRNA transcribed from a gene may be quantified, such as by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Alternatively or additionally, the amount of protein may be quantified, such as by using Western blotting or mass spectrometry.

    Gene Activity

    [0161] In an embodiment the invention provides an attenuated ASFV in which activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R is disrupted.

    [0162] The term “activity” with respect to a gene refers to the ability of the gene to carry out its functions. Different genes have different activities i.e. different functions they fulfil. A given gene may have multiple activities; disruption of gene activity means disruption of one or more of those activities. One or more activity of the gene may be disrupted whilst one or more other activities are not disrupted. Disruption of gene activity decreases the activity of the gene relative to the activity of the gene when it is not disrupted. For example, a mutated gene may have decreased activity in comparison to a wild-type version of the gene. Gene activity may be decreased to the extent that gene activity is entirely abolished.

    [0163] The attenuated ASFV according to the present invention may comprise a non-functional version of the disrupted genes.

    [0164] Disruption of expression of a gene may also disrupt activity of that gene as the decreased amount of gene product means the gene cannot as effectively carry out one or more of its activities.

    [0165] Gene expression and/or activity are disrupted by mutating the ASFV genome i.e. by mutating the ASFV genome. A “mutation” means a change in the nucleotide sequence of the ASFV genome relative to a known ASFV genotype. Mutations include changing one or more nucleotides to different nucleotides (i.e. substitution), adding nucleotides, deleting nucleotides and/or a combination of these.

    [0166] In an embodiment the attenuated ASF virus of the invention comprises mutations that disrupt the expression and/or activity of the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R.

    [0167] Gene expression and/or activity may be disrupted by disrupting transcription of the gene into mRNA i.e. by decreasing gene transcription, such as completely abolishing gene transcription. Gene expression and/or activity may be disrupted by disrupting translation of mRNA into protein. In an embodiment the attenuated ASF virus comprises mutations that decrease transcription and/or translation of the genes. In an embodiment the attenuated ASF virus comprises mutations that cause the genes to not be transcribed and/or translated (i.e. complete abolition of transcription and/or translation).

    [0168] Gene expression and/or activity may be disrupted by mutating a non-coding sequence associated with the gene, such as a promoter. In an embodiment the attenuated ASF virus comprises mutations in promoters of one or more of the disrupted genes.

    [0169] Gene expression and/or activity may be disrupted by mutating a coding sequence of one or more of the disrupted genes.

    Activity of DP148R

    [0170] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASFV of the invention, DP148R activity may be disrupted.

    [0171] In an embodiment the activity of DP148R that may be disrupted is its ability to inhibit type I interferon. In other words, the ability of DP148R to inhibit type I interferon may be decreased. The ability of DP148R to inhibit type I interferon may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. The ability of DP148R to inhibit type I interferon may be completely abolished.

    [0172] In an embodiment the activity of DP148R that may be disrupted is its ability to inhibit NF-κB activity. In an embodiment, the invention provides an attenuated ASF virus in which the ability of the DP148R gene to inhibit NFκB activity is disrupted. NFκB activity may be measured using a luciferase reporter assay as described herein.

    [0173] Disruption of the ability to inhibit NFκB activity means that the ability to inhibit NFκB activity is decreased. In other words, the DP148R gene of the attenuated ASF virus of the invention inhibits NFκB activity less than would a wild-type version of the DP148R gene. The ability to inhibit NFκB activity may be decreased by at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, or at least 90%. In an embodiment the ability of the DP148R gene to inhibit NFκB activity may be abolished i.e. the DP148R gene does not inhibit NFκB activity. In that case, the activity of NFκB would be as high as if no DP148R gene were present. A decrease in inhibition means NFκB activity is higher than it would be with the wild-type version of the DP148R gene. NFκB activity may be twice as high as it would be with the wild type version of the DP148R gene, such as three times as high, four times as high, five times as high or six times as high.

    [0174] NFκB is a transcription factor that activates transcription of various genes, controlling expression of interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokines as part of the host's innate immune system response to viral infection. Inhibition of NFκB activity means decreasing activation of expression of its target genes. The degree of activation of NFκB target gene expression may be measured using a luciferase reporter assay in which an NFκB-activatable promoter is linked to a luciferase reporter.

    [0175] In an embodiment the activity of DP148R that may be disrupted is its ability to inhibit translocation of the p65 sub-unit of NFκB to the nucleus. In an embodiment, the invention provides an attenuated ASF virus in which the ability of the DP148R gene to inhibit translocation of the p65 sub-unit of NFκB to the nucleus is disrupted. Translocation of p65 to the nucleus can be measured by immunofluorescence of cells stimulated with NF-κB activators as described herein. The relative and absolute amounts of p65 that translocate to the nucleus may quantified by using differential cell lysis conditions known in the art to either break open the nucleus or leave it intact then quantify the amount of p65 using techniques known in the art such as Western blotting or mass spectrometry. For example, cells expressing a wild type or mutant DP148R protein may be stimulated to activate NF-κB then differentially lysed to produce whole cell lysate, a cytoplasmic fraction and a nuclear fraction. The amount of p65 in each fraction may then be quantified for the different conditions (wild type or mutant DP148R protein).

    [0176] Disruption of the ability to inhibit translocation of p65 to the nucleus means that the ability to inhibit translocation of p65 to the nucleus is decreased. In other words, the version of the DP148R gene in the attenuated ASF virus of the invention inhibits translocation of p65 to the nucleus less than would a wild-type version of the DP148R gene. The ability to inhibit translocation of p65 to the nucleus may be decreased by at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, or at least 90%. In an embodiment the ability of the DP148R gene to inhibit translocation of p65 to the nucleus may be abolished i.e. the DP148R gene does not inhibit translocation of p65 to the nucleus. In that case, as much p65 would translate to the nucleus as if no DP148R gene were present. A decrease in inhibition means the proportion of p65 that translocates to the nucleus is higher than it would be with the wild-type version of the DP148R gene. The proportion of p65 that translocates to the nucleus may be twice as high as it would be with the wild type version of the DP148R gene, such as three times as high, four times as high, five times as high or six times as high.

    Activity of EP153R

    [0177] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASFV of the invention, EP153R activity may be disrupted.

    [0178] In an embodiment the activity of EP153R that may be disrupted is its ability to mediate haemadsorption. In other words, the ability of EP153R to mediate haemadsorption may be decreased. The ability of EP153R to mediate haemadsorption may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. The ability of EP153R to mediate haemadsorption may be completely abolished.

    [0179] In an embodiment the activity of EP153R that may be disrupted is its ability to inhibit caspase-3. In other words, the ability of EP153R to inhibit caspase-3 may be decreased. The ability of EP153R to inhibit caspase-3 may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. The ability of EP153R to inhibit caspase-3 may be completely abolished. Caspase-3 activity may be measured by assays known in the art, such as described by Hurtado et al. (Hurtado et al. 2004 Virology 326: 160-170). For example, the cleaved active caspase-3 fragment of 17 kDa and the inactive procaspase-3 protein of 34 kDa may be quantified using Western blot or mass spectrometry and compared to ascertain the degree of activation of caspase-3. Alternatively or additionally, the ability of caspase-3 in cell extract to cleave a fluorescent substrate may be measured using high performance liquid chromatography.

    [0180] In an embodiment the activity of EP153R that may be disrupted is its ability to inhibit MHC-I expression. In other words, the ability of EP153R to inhibit MHC-I expression may be decreased. The ability of EP153R to inhibit MHC-I expression may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. The ability of EP153R to inhibit MHC-I expression may be completely abolished. MHC-I expression may be measured by assays known in the art, such as described by Hurtado et al. (Hurtado et al. 2011 Arch. Virol. 156(2): 219-234). For example, cell surface expression of MHC-I may be measured using antibody staining of non-permeabilised cells followed by flow cytometry.

    Activity of EP402R

    [0181] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASFV of the invention, EP402R activity is disrupted.

    [0182] In an embodiment the activity of EP402R that is disrupted is its ability to mediate haemadsorption. In other words, the ability of EP402R to mediate haemadsorption may be decreased. The ability of EP402R to mediate haemadsorption may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. The ability of EP402R to mediate haemadsorption may be completely abolished.

    [0183] The activity of EP402R that is disrupted may be the ability of the EP402R protein to bind ligands via its extracellular N-terminal Ig-like domain (i.e. its ligand-binding domain). Thus in an embodiment the invention provides an attenuated ASF virus wherein the EP402R gene comprises one or more mutations that disrupt ligand binding by the EP402R protein. The ability of the EP402R protein to bind one or more ligands may be disrupted. The ability of EP402R to bind one or more ligands may be decreased by at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90%. The ability of the EP402R protein to bind one or more ligands may be completely abolished. The ability of the EP402R protein to bind one or more ligands may be completely abolished whilst retaining the ability to bind other ligands. In an embodiment, the invention provides an attenuated ASF virus wherein the EP402R gene comprises one or more mutations that disrupt ligand binding by the EP402R protein. Ligand binding may be measured using assays such as immunoprecipitation, surface plasmon resonance and/or isothermal calorimetry.

    Functional Version of a Gene

    [0184] The attenuated ASFV of the invention comprises a functional version of one or more of the following genes: [0185] multigene family (MGF) 110 3L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 10L, 11L and 12L, [0186] MGF 360 5L, 6L, 7L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 20R, 21R and 22R, and [0187] MGF 505 1R, 2R and 6R.

    [0188] In some embodiments the attenuated ASFV of the invention may comprise a functional version of one or more of the following genes: MGF 110 3L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 10L, 11L and 12L; MGF 360 5L, 6L, 7L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 20R, 21R and 22R; and MGF 505 1R, 2R and 6R. Suitably, the attenuated ASFV comprises functional versions of two or more, such as three or more, four or more, five or more, six or more, seven or more, eight or more, nine or more, ten or more, eleven or more, twelve or more, thirteen or more, fourteen or more, fifteen or more, sixteen or more, seventeen or more, eighteen or more, nineteen or more, twenty or more, twenty one, or twenty two of the following genes: MGF 110 3L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 10L, 11L and 12L; MGF 360 5L, 6L, 7L, 10L, 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 20R, 21R and 22R; and MGF 505 1R, 2R and 6R. In an embodiment the attenuated ASFV comprises functional versions of all of the following genes: MGF 110 3L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 10L, 11L and 12L; MGF 360 5L, 6L, 7L, 10L, 11 L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 20R, 21R and 22R; and MGF 505 1R, 2R and 6R.

    [0189] The expression “functional version” of a gene refers to a gene the expression and activity of which have not been disrupted. A functional version of a gene may not be mutated in a manner that disrupts gene expression or gene activity. A functional version of a gene may not comprise any mutations. The coding sequence of a functional version of a gene may be complete and uninterrupted. A functional version of a gene may be fully transcribed and translated.

    [0190] A functional version of a gene may correspond to the gene in a wild-type ASFV isolate. A functional version of a gene may correspond to the gene in a virulent ASFV strain. The sequence of a functional version of a gene may be identical to the sequence of the gene in a wild-type ASFV isolate or virulent ASFV strain. The sequence of a functional version of a gene may be identical to the sequence of the gene in the wild-type ASFV isolate from which the attenuated ASFV of the invention is derived. A functional version of a gene may be a natural variant of the gene in a wild-type ASFV isolate.

    [0191] A functional version of a gene may comprise mutations. However, the mutations should not disrupt the expression or activity of the gene. In other words, the mutations should not affect the function of the gene. A functional version of a gene may comprise one or more synonymous mutations (i.e. mutations which do not alter the amino acid sequence of the protein the gene encodes). A functional version of a gene may comprise one or more silent mutations, which may be synonymous or non-synonymous. A functional version of a gene may comprise deletions that do not disrupt the expression or activity of the gene. A functional version of a gene may comprise one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that do not disrupt the expression or activity of the gene.

    Deletions

    [0192] In the attenuated ASFV of the invention, expression and/or activity of genes may be disrupted by deletion. In other words, expression and/or activity of a gene may be disrupted by a mutation that is a deletion.

    [0193] An attenuated ASFV of the invention may be made to lack a functional version of a gene by deletion. In other words, the mutation that causes the ASFV to lack a functional version of a gene may be a deletion.

    [0194] “Deletion” means removal of part of the ASFV genome nucleotide sequence. The deletion may be continuous, or may comprise deletion of a plurality of sections of sequence. Deletion may disrupt gene expression and/or activity in any of the ways described herein. Deletion may cause the ASFV to lack a functional version of the gene in any of the ways described herein.

    [0195] Deletion may disrupt transcription of the gene into mRNA. For example, deleting a promoter of a gene would disrupt transcription. Deletion may disrupt translation of mRNA into protein. For example, deleting a start codon would disrupt translation. Gene expression and/or activity may be disrupted by deleting non-coding sequence associated with the gene, such as a promoter.

    [0196] Gene expression and/or activity may be disrupted by deleting coding sequence of the gene. The ASFV may be made to lack a functional version of the gene by deleting coding sequence of the gene. Deletion of coding sequence may be partial (i.e. part of the coding sequence is deleted). The deletion may, for example, remove at least 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90% of the coding sequence of the gene. The deletion may be complete, in which case 100% of the coding sequence of the gene is absent when compared to the corresponding genome of the wild-type isolate.

    [0197] Deletion of coding sequence may be continuous, or may comprise deletion of a plurality of sections of coding sequence. The deletion should remove a sufficient amount of coding sequence such that deletion disrupts the expression and/or activity of the gene i.e. a functional gene product, such as a protein, is no longer produced from the gene. The expression “deletion of a gene” (such as “partially deleted”) refers to deletion of a sufficient amount of coding sequence such that expression and/or activity of the gene is disrupted. The amount of coding sequence required to be deleted to disrupt gene expression and/or activity may be very small. For example, deletion of just the start codon (ATG) may be sufficient to disrupt expression and/or activity of the gene to attenuate the virus.

    [0198] Partial and full deletions of a gene can be made using known techniques in the art, such as conditional targeting via Cre-LoxP and Flp-FRT systems, or by inducing a double strand break (DSB) and repair using engineered nucleases such as meganucleases, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription-activator like effector nucleases (TALENs) and Cas in CRISPR-Cas systems. The DSB repair can be exploited to introduce a desired mutation by providing a vector comprising the desired mutated nucleotide sequence within a sequence that is homologous to the sequences flanking either side of the DSB. This results in the desired mutation being inserted at the site of the DSB. Nucleases such as those above can be engineered to induce DSB at a specific site within the genome. For example, chimeric meganucleases can be readily generated by combining known protein units to recognise a target recognition sequence within a gene or genomic region of interest. ZFNs can also be designed to target specific sequences, for example combining zinc-finger units with known specificities to bind specific regions of DNA. TALENs are artificial restriction enzymes designed by fusing a nuclease domain to DNA-binding TALE (transcription activator-like effector) domains. TALE domains are tandem arrays of amino acid repeats that recognise a single nucleotide and can be designed to target a specific region of DNA. CRISPR-Cas systems consist of a Cas (CRISPR-associated protein) nuclease and a CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) RNA sequence that guides the Cas protein to recognise and cleave a specific strand of DNA complementary to the CRISPR sequence. Single-stranded guide RNA (sgRNA) can therefore be designed to bind to a specific region of DNA and guide the Cas to introduce a DSB. Accordingly, provided the nucleotide (e.g. DNA or cDNA) sequence of a gene is known, a known nuclease system can be utilised to introduce a partial or full deletion to the gene.

    [0199] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASF virus of the present invention the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R may be at least partially deleted.

    [0200] The DP148R gene may be at least partially deleted. The EP153R gene may be at least partially deleted. The EP402R gene may be at least partially deleted. The DP148R and EP153R genes may each be at least partially deleted. The DP148R, EP153R and EP402R genes may each be at least partially deleted.

    [0201] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASF virus of the present invention the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R may be completely deleted.

    [0202] The DP148R gene may be completely deleted. The EP153R gene may be completely deleted. The EP402R gene may be completely deleted. The DP148R and EP153R genes may each be completely deleted. The DP148R, EP153R and EP402R genes may each be completely deleted.

    Interruptions

    [0203] The expression and/or activity of the genes may be disrupted by interruption of the gene. In other words, the mutation that disrupts expression and/or activity of a gene may be one that interrupts the gene.

    [0204] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASFV of the present invention the genes DP148R, EP153R and EP402R may interrupted. The DP148R gene may be interrupted. The EP153R gene may be interrupted. The EP402R gene may be interrupted. The DP148R and EP153R genes may each be interrupted. The DP148R, EP153R and EP402R genes may each be interrupted.

    [0205] “Interruption” means the mutation alters the coding sequence of the gene such that a functional gene product, such as a protein, is no longer produced. The term “interruption” may be used herein to refer to a mutation that interrupts a gene. The mutation(s) should interrupt the coding sequence in a manner such that expression and/or activity of the gene is disrupted i.e. a functional gene product, such as a protein, is no longer produced from the gene.

    [0206] The interruption may entirely abolish gene product production. For example, where the gene product is a protein, the interruption may render the mRNA nonsensical, causing the mRNA to be degraded and the protein to not be translated, thereby abolishing protein production. The interruption may alter the gene product that is produced. The interruption may cause the gene to not be transcribed and/or translated.

    [0207] The interruption may be a point mutation (i.e. substitution, insertion or deletion of a single nucleotide). An interruption may be a deletion. A gene may comprise multiple mutations that lead to interruption of the gene.

    [0208] The interruption may be a frame shift mutation. A frame shift causes the codons downstream of the frame shift to be read as different amino acids. The protein produced may be non-functional.

    [0209] The interruption may be mutation of a start codon. A start codon is typically ATG. Mutation of a start codon (e.g. point mutation of one, two or three of the nucleotides) means that translation will not start at that codon. Translation may begin at a subsequent start codon further downstream. If the subsequent start codon is in frame a version of the protein is produced that is N-terminally truncated and so may be non-functional. If the subsequent start codon is not in frame an entirely different or nonsense protein is produced, which would be non-functional. If there is no subsequent start codon, translation is entirely abolished and no protein is produced.

    [0210] The interruption may be mutation of a stop codon (TAG, TAA or TGA). Mutation of a stop codon (also referred to as a nonstop mutation) causes continued translation of mRNA into a sequence that should not be translated. The resulting protein may be non-functional due to its excessive length.

    Amino Acid Changes

    [0211] In an embodiment of the attenuated ASF virus of the invention, the EP402R gene comprises one or more mutations that change one or more amino acids in the ligand-binding domain of the EP402R protein. Suitably the EP402R gene comprises one or more mutations (such as two or more, three or more, four or more or five or more mutations) that change one or more amino acids (such as two or more, three or more, four or more or five or more amino acids) in the ligand-binding domain of the EP402R protein.

    [0212] Changing of the one or more amino acids in the ligand-binding domain of the EP402R protein should disrupt expression and/or activity of the EP402R protein. In an embodiment, changing the one or more amino acids in the ligand-binding domain of the EP402R protein may disrupt haemadsorption mediated by the EP402R protein. In an embodiment, changing the one or more amino acids in the ligand-binding domain of the EP402R protein may disrupt ligand binding by the EP402R protein.

    [0213] In an embodiment, the one or more mutations in the ligand-binding domain may be a deletion or an interruption as described herein. For example, deletion of part of the coding sequence for the ligand-binding domain of the EP402R protein would result in the absence of the encoded amino acids from the ligand-binding domain, which may disrupt ligand binding.

    [0214] In an embodiment, one or more of the mutations may be a point mutation. Suitably one or more of the mutations may be point mutations that change a single amino acid into a different amino acid. Such an amino change may be referred to as a substitution. Changing even a single amino acid may disrupt the activity of the EP402R protein, such as ligand binding activity. For example, changing an amino acid that can be charged to an amino acid that can have the opposite charge may disrupt folding of the EP402R ligand-domain such that a binding pocket is deformed, which prevents ligand binding. Alternatively or additionally, substitution with an amino acid that can have an opposite charge may prevent electrostatic binding of a ligand. Another possibility is that changing an amino acid with a small side-chain to an amino acid with a bulky side-chain, or vice versa, may disrupt folding of the EP402R ligand-binding domain so that a binding pocket does not form which prevents ligand binding.

    [0215] Thus in an embodiment the one or more changed amino acids in the ligand-binding domain may comprise a negatively charged amino acid that is changed to a positively charged amino acid. In an embodiment the one or more changed amino acids in the ligand-binding domain may comprise a positively charged amino acid that is changed to a negatively charged amino acid. Positively charged amino acids (i.e. amino acids that can have a positive charge) include histidine (H), lysine (K) and arginine (R). Negatively charged amino acids (i.e. amino acids that can have a negative charge) include aspartic acid (D) and glutamic acid (E).

    [0216] In an embodiment the one or more changed amino acids in the ligand-binding domain may comprise an amino acid with a small side-chain that is changed to an amino acid with a bulky side-chain. In an embodiment the one or more changed amino acids in the ligand-binding domain may comprise an amino acid with a bulky side-chain that is changed to an amino acid with a small side-chain. Amino acids with a bulky side-chain include tryptophan (W). Amino acids with a small side-chain include glycine (G) and alanine (A).

    [0217] In an embodiment the one or more changed amino acids in the ligand-binding domain may comprise an amino acid with a hydrophilic side-chain that is changed to an amino acid with a hydrophobic side-chain. In an embodiment the one or more changed amino acids in the ligand-binding domain may comprise an amino acid with a hydrophobic side-chain that is changed to an amino acid with a hydrophilic side-chain. Amino acids with a hydrophobic side-chain include alanine (A), valine (V), isoleucine (I), leucine (L), methionine (M), phenylalanine (F), tyrosine (Y) and tryptophan (VV). Amino acids with a hydrophilic side-chain include arginine (R), histidine (H), lysine (K), aspartic acid (D), glutamic acid (E), serine (S), threonine (T), asparagine (N) and glutamine (Q).

    [0218] Changing amino acid E99 to R or amino acid Y102 to D disrupts the ability of EP402R protein from Benin 97/1 strain to mediate haemadsorption (see FIGS. 4, 5 and 6). Furthermore, changing the amino acid Q96 to R disrupts the ability of EP402R protein from Georgia 2007/1 strain to mediate haemadsorption (see FIG. 4C). Accordingly, in an embodiment the one or more mutations change an amino acid at a position in the EP402R protein which corresponds to E99 and/or Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein (SEQ ID NO. 11). In other words, the EP402R protein expressed by the attenuated ASF virus of the invention may be the EP402R protein from any ASF virus strain, and the amino acid that is changed corresponds to E99 and/or Y102 of the amino acid sequence of the EP402R protein from the Benin 97/1 strain, which is presented herein as SEQ ID NO. 11. The positions E99 and Y102 refer to amino acids glutamic acid and tyrosine at positions 99 and 102 respectively of the Benin 97/1 EP402R protein. In an embodiment the one or more mutations change the amino acid at position E99 and/or Y102 of the EP402R protein of the Benin 97/1 strain, or the corresponding position in the EP402R protein of any other ASFV strain. In an embodiment the one or more mutations change amino acids at positions in the EP402R protein which corresponds to E99 and Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein (SEQ ID NO. 11). In an embodiment the one or more mutations change an amino acid at a position in the EP402R protein corresponding to E99 of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein (SEQ ID NO. 11). In an embodiment the one or more mutations change an amino acid at a position in the EP402R protein which corresponds to Y102 of the Benin 97/1 EP402R protein (SEQ ID NO. 11).

    [0219] Whether an amino acid corresponds to E99 and/or Y102 of the Benin 97/1 EP402R protein may be assessed by sequence alignment. For example, FIG. 3 shows an alignment of EP402R proteins from Benin, Mkuzi, Warmbaths, Tengnani, Warthog, Georgia and Malawi strains. The amino acid in the EP402R protein from each strain that corresponds to E99 of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein is the amino acid shown below the Benin E99 residue (highlighted in yellow). The amino acid in the EP402R protein from each strain that corresponds to Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein is the amino acid shown below the Benin Y102 residue (three amino acids to the right of the amino acids highlighted in yellow). The amino acids in the EP402R protein from the strains in FIG. 3 that corresponds to E99 and Y102 in Benin 97/1 EP402R are given in Table 4 below.

    TABLE-US-00036 TABLE 4 Corresponding Amino acid Strain E99 Y102 Mkuzi E101 E104 Warmbaths E98 Y101 Tengani E100 Y103 Warthog Q95 Y98 Georgia Q96 W99 Malawi Q97 W100

    [0220] Amino acids corresponding to E99 and Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R exist in EP402R proteins from strains other than those shown in FIG. 3 and listed in Table 4 above (such as other strains listed in Table 1 herein). The skilled person can readily determine using sequence alignment which amino acid in an EP402R protein from a given strain, such as a strain from Table 1, corresponds to E99 or Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R. The corresponding amino acid may be identical to E99 or Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R. For example, an amino acid corresponding to E99 of Benin 97/1 EP402R may also be an E (glutamic acid). The corresponding amino acid may be similar to E99 or Y102. Suitably the corresponding amino acid has the same charge as E99 or Y102. Suitably the corresponding amino acid to E99 is a Q (glutamine). Suitably the corresponding amino acid to Y102 is a W (tryptophan). The expression “corresponding to E99 and/or Y102 of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein” encompasses E99 and/or Y102D of Benin 97/1 EP402R protein.

In an embodiment the one or more mutations change an amino acid at a position in the EP402R protein corresponding to S15, W19, Q96, N104, and/or K108D of Georgia 2007/1 EP402R protein (SEQ ID NO. 24). In an embodiment the one or more mutations change the amino acid at position S15, W19, Q96, N104, and/or K108D of the EP402R protein of the Georgia 2007/1 EP402R protein (SEQ ID NO. 24), or the corresponding position in the EP402R protein of any other ASFV strain.

    Methods of Prevention/Treatment

    [0268] The present invention also provides a method of preventing and/or treating ASF in a subject by administration to the subject of an effective amount of an attenuated virus, vaccine, or pharmaceutical composition of the invention.

    [0269] The term “preventing” is intended to refer to averting, delaying, impeding or hindering the contraction of ASF. The vaccine may, for example, prevent or reduce the likelihood of an infectious ASFV entering a cell.

    [0270] The term “treating” is intended to refer to reducing or alleviating at least one symptom of an existing ASF infection.

    [0271] The subject may be any animal which is susceptible to ASF infection. ASF susceptible animals include domestic pigs, warthogs, bush pigs and ticks.

    [0272] The subject vaccinated according to the present invention may be a domestic pig.

    Administration

    [0273] The vaccine of the invention may be administered by any convenient route, such as by intramuscular injection. Other suitable routes of administration include intranasal, oral, subcutaneous, transdermal and vaginal (e.g. during artificial insemination). In one embodiment, oral administration comprises adding the vaccine to animal feed or drinking water. In another embodiment, the vaccine may be added to bait for a wild animal, for example bait suitable for wild boar, wild pigs, bushpigs or warthogs.

    [0274] The dose for pig immunisation may be less than 10.sup.4 HAD.sub.50 or TCID.sub.50 per pig. For example the dose may be between 10.sup.2-10.sup.3 HAD.sub.50 or TCID.sub.50 The dose may be about 10.sup.2 HAD.sub.50 or TCID.sub.50 per pig. The dose may be determined by a veterinary practitioner within the scope of sound veterinary judgment.

    [0275] The vaccine may be administered following a prime-boost regime. For example, after the first inoculation, the subjects may receive a second boosting administration some time (such as about 7, 14, 21 or 28 days) later. Typically the boosting administration is at a higher dose than the priming administration. The boosting dose may be about 10.sup.2, 10.sup.3 or 10.sup.4 HAD.sub.50 or TCID.sub.50 of the recombinant attenuated virus per pig.

    [0288] Methods for mutation of viral genes are known in the art. In particular, methods for deletion of viral genes are known in the art. For example, homologous recombination may be used, in which a transfer vector is created in which the relevant gene(s) are missing and used to transfect virus-infected cells. Recombinant viruses expressing the new portion of sequence may then be selected. Similar procedures may be used in order to interrupt gene expression, for example by deletion of the ATG start codon.

    [0289] “Retaining the function” of a gene means that expression and activity of the gene is not affected during the attenuation process. The resultant attenuated virus should express a functional version of the gene. Suitably, the genes the function of which is to be retained are unaltered by the method of attenuation.

    EXAMPLES

    Example 1—Identification of EP402R/CD2v Mutants that Reduce HAD

    [0296] Mutations were made in African swine fever virus (ASFV) Benin isolate EP402R protein (CD2v) and tested for their effect on haemadsorption (HAD).

    [0297] A model of the extracellular, N-terminal, IgG-like, ligand-binding domain of CD2v was generated and used to predict the functional amino acid residues involved in binding of CD2v to its ligand. These residues were individually mutated to generate a set of mutant CD2v proteins.

    [0298] Vero cells were infected with modified vaccinia virus Ankara expressing T7RNA polymerase and transfected with plasmids (pcDNA3) expressing wild-type or mutant CD2v full-length proteins with a C-terminal HA epitope tag. Pig red blood cells were added and cells observed for attachment of red blood cells to the surface. Expression of the wild-type or mutant CD2v proteins was confirmed both by confocal microscopy using permeabilised cells and Western blotting using an antibody recognising the HA tag and a secondary antibody. Cell surface expression of the wild-type or mutant CD2v was also confirmed by staining non-permeabilised cells with sera from pigs immunised with attenuated ASFV containing a wild-type CD2v gene and a secondary antibody (FIG. 1).

    [0299] Mutation of residues E99 or Y102 abrogated HAD. FIG. 2 shows exemplary images from the HAD assay. FIG. 2A shows cells transfected with a plasmid expressing wild-type Benin CD2v. HAD of red blood cells is observed around three cells. FIG. 2B shows cells expressing CD2v with the Y102 residue mutated to D. Partial HAD is observed around one cell. FIG. 2C shows cells expressing CD2v with residue E99 mutated to R. No HAD is observed.

    [0300] CD2v residue E99 is strongly conserved in ASFV, as shown by an alignment of the amino acid sequence of CD2v ligand-binding domain from different ASFV isolates of varying genotypes (FIG. 3). The equivalent residue in other isolates (highlighted in yellow in FIG. 3) is either identical (E) or has the same charge (Q).

    [0301] The equivalent residue to Benin CD2v E99 in Georgia CD2v, Q96, was mutated to R and the ability of the mutant protein to induce HAD was tested using the HAD assay described above. Mutation of Q96 in Georgia CD2v abrogated HAD. FIG. 4 shows exemplary images from the HAD assay of Vero cells with pig red blood cells. FIG. 4A shows Vero cells transfected with a plasmid expressing wild-type Benin CD2v. HAD of red blood cells is observed around four cells. FIG. 4B shows Vero cells expressing wild-type Georgia CD2v. HAD is observed around two cells. FIG. 4C shows Vero cells expressing Georgia CD2v with residue Q96 mutated to R. No HAD is observed. FIG. 4D shows non-transfected Vero cells. No HAD is observed.

    [0302] Using the same assay, the following mutations were determined to impact HAD in Benin: N16R, I 19R, W21D, Y 76D, E99R, Y102D. In addition, a combination of E99R +N108R was determined to impact HAD in Benin.

    [0303] The following mutations were determined to impact HAD in Georgia: S15R, W19D, Q96R, N104R, and K108D. In addition, combinations of S15R +W19D and Q96R +N104R were determined to impact HAD in Georgia.

    [0304] The following mutations were determined to impact HAD in N10 Genotype IX: W20D, R125D, Q112R +N121R.

    Example 2—Generation of ASFV Lacking Functional DP148R, EP153R and EP402R

    [0305] The ability to induce HAD could be restored by infecting WSL cells expressing the CD2vE99R mutant with BeninΔCD2v virus (FIG. 4A).

    [0306] However, HAD could not be restored by infecting WSL cells expressing the CD2vE99R mutant with OURT88/3 virus (FIG. 4B). OURT88/3 has frame-shift interruptions in the EP153R and EP402R/CD2v genes, which suggests a role for EP153R in rescuing HAD caused by the CD2vE99R mutant.

    [0307] Based on these results, two gene deleted Benin viruses were constructed using as backbone the attenuated BeninΔDP148R virus. One virus had in addition to DP148R further deletions of EP153R and EP402R (BeninΔDP148RΔEP153RΔCD2v) and the second had EP153R deleted and the wild-type EP402R gene replaced with the gene expressing CD2vE99R mutant (BeninΔDP148RΔEP153R-CD2vE99R).

    [0308] The Benin CD2vE99R mutant protein was expressed at the cell surface, as shown in FIG. 6A. Porcine bone marrow cells were infected with BeninΔDP148RΔEP153R-CD2vE99R, fixed and permeabilised at 8 hours post-infection then stained with an antibody which recognises the HA-tag fused in frame with the CD2vE99R gene and secondary antibody. The CD2vE99R is shown in red on the cell surface. The mNeon green was inserted in place of the EP153R gene and is shown in green. Nuclear DNA and virus cytoplasmic factories are stained blue. The panel on the right shows a larger field to indicate numbers of infected cells.

    [0309] Cells infected with these viruses did not induce HAD. FIG. 6B shows porcine bone marrow cells infected with wild type Benin97/1 virus (left panel) or BeninΔDP148RΔEP153R-CD2vE99R (right panel). Red blood cells are observed forming rosettes around the Benin97/1 infected cells (left panel) but not around the cells infected with virus expressing mutant CD2vE99R (right panel). The inset bottom right shows cells infected with BeninΔDP148RΔEP153R-CD2vE99R expressing mNeon protein to confirm the cells were infected.

    Example 3—DP148R Inhibits Activation of NF-κB by Inhibiting Nuclear Translocation of the p65 Sub-Unit

    [0310] HEK293T cells were transfected with an NF-κB dependent luciferase reporter plasmid and either a plasmid encoding the DP148R gene or an empty plasmid (pcDNA3) as a negative control. Twenty four hours post transfection the cells were treated with IL-1β (FIG. 7A) or TNF-α (FIG. 7B) for eight hours to induce NF-κB activation. Following cell lysis, luciferase activity was measured. FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B show that in the presence of DP148R, luciferase values were significantly lower than those obtained from cells transfected with pcDNA3. This indicates that DP148R is able to inhibit NF-KB mediated signalling.

    [0311] In a pair of alternative experiments, NF-κB activation was instead induced by overexpression of the two main kinases of the NF-κB signalling pathway, namely IKKα (FIG. 7C) and IKKβ (FIG. 7D). FIG. 7C and FIG. 7D show that, again, in the presence of DP148R, luciferase values were significantly lower than those obtained from cells transfected with pcDNA3, indicating that DP148R is able to inhibit the NF-κB pathway at the level of the kinases activation.

    [0312] To further elucidate the mechanism by which DP148R inhibits NF-κB activation, the effect of DP148R on nuclear translocation of the p65 sub-unit of NF-κB was investigated. HeLa cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing HA-tagged DP148R and were then stimulated with TNF-alpha or IL-β to activate NF-κB. Unstimulated cells were used as a negative control. Cells were fixed and permeabilised then stained for HA-tagged DP148R using an anti-HA tag antibody and an appropriate secondary antibody. The p65 subunit of NF-κB was stained with a primary antibody and secondary antibody. FIG. 8 shows immunofluorescence images of the cells. HA-tagged DP148R is shown in red, p65 is shown in green and nuclei are shown in blue. In cells not expressing DP148R, in unstimulated cells p65 remains in the cytoplasm but translocates into the nucleus following stimulation with TNF-alpha or IL-1beta. In contrast, in cells expressing DP148R, p65 nuclear translocation is not observed upon stimulation and lower amounts of p65 are detected in the cytoplasm. The results show that DP148R is an efficient inhibitor of NF-κB which would inhibit activation of genes dependent on NF-κB. These include for example proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

    Example 4—Lack of Functional DP148R, EP153R and EP402R Attenuates ASFV and Induces Protection Against Challenge

    Vaccination Experimental Protocol

    [0313] Groups of large white/landrace pigs were immunised intramuscularly with 10.sup.4 TCID50 BeninΔDP148RΔEP153RΔCD2v (Group A—eight pigs) and BeninΔDP148RΔEP153R-CD2vE99R (Group B—six pigs).

    [0314] Pigs were boosted on day 21 (10.sup.4 TCID50/m1) and day 28 (10.sup.6 TCID50/m1) post-immunisation and then challenged with 10.sup.3 TCID50/m1 parental virulent Benin 97/1 strain on day 45 post-immunisation, in parallel with three non-immunised pigs (control Group E).

    [0315] The experimental protocol is depicted in FIG. 9.

    Temperature

    [0316] Rectal temperatures were recorded daily for all pigs in Group A and B and the control Group E (FIG. 10). In Group A, no increase in temperature was observed before challenge. After challenge an increase in temperature at or above 41° C. was observed in one pig at day 3 post-challenge and in the remaining pigs at day 4 post-challenge. Two pigs (A3 and A4) reached the humane end-point at day 5 post-challenge and were culled. The remaining pigs had an increased temperature above 40.5° C. for two days in total, except for pig A7 in which a temperature of 40.6° C. persisted for a 3.sup.rd day. All then survived to the end of the experiment at day 20 post-challenge without further increase in temperature (FIG. 10A).

    [0317] Three pigs in Group B had an increase in temperature above 40.5° C. at day 5 post-immunisation. One pig had a temperature of 41.1° C. by day 3 post-challenge and this was maintained a further 2 days when the animal was culled at the humane endpoint. From the other pigs all survived, one had a single day temperature above 40.5° C. at day 4 post-challenge, three had 2 days increase temperature (days 4 and 5) and one had no increased temperature. All survivors had no further temperature increase until the end of the experiment (day 20 post-challenge) (FIG. 10B).

    [0318] Control pigs had temperatures above 40.5° C. from day 4 post-challenge and were culled at the humane endpoint on day 6 post-challenge (FIG. 10C).

    Clinical Scores

    [0319] Clinical scores, including increased temperature and other signs such as lethargy and loss of appetite were collected daily (FIG. 11). In Group A no signs were observed before challenge. After challenge clinical scores were observed in all pigs coincident with increased temperatures and reaching higher levels in the two pigs that were culled at the humane endpoint (FIG. 11A).

    [0320] In Group B mild signs were observed in pigs post-immunization coincident with temperature increases. After challenge mild signs were observed except for the pig which was culled at the humane endpoint and the pig which did not show an increase in temperature which had no clinical signs (FIG. 11B).

    Viremia

    [0321] Levels of virus genome in blood were measured by qPCR (FIG. 12). No virus genome was detected in blood from pigs in Group A before challenge. After challenge variable levels of genome were detected from day 3 or 4 post-challenge. Maximum levels were detected in the pigs which were culled (˜10e6 genome copies per ml). In other pigs the maximum levels detected varied between ˜10e2 per ml and 10e5.5 per ml. Levels of virus genome decreased until termination at day 20 post-challenge becoming undetectable in 2 pigs and reduced to 10e2.6 in others except 1 pig in which levels remained at 10e4.5 at termination (FIG. 12A).

    [0322] In group B low levels of virus genome were detected in blood from 3 pigs at day 6 post-immunization. After challenge virus genome was detected at low levels (below 10e4 genome copies per ml) from day 7 post-challenge (FIG. 12B).

    Antibody Response

    [0323] ASFV specific antibody responses were measured using a commercially available competitive ELISA based on the VP72 (B646L) major capsid protein (FIG. 13). In Group A antibody responses were first detected at day 27 post-immunization after the first boost and just before the second boost. Levels were maintained for the rest of the experiment (FIG. 13A).

    [0324] In pigs in Group B antibody responses were detected by day 14 (1 week before the boost) and increased maintaining a plateau after day 21 to 28 (FIG. 13B).

    Cell-Mediated Immune Response

    [0325] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected pre-immunization, boost and challenge from pigs in Groups A and B and stimulated with ASFV Benin virus. Numbers of IFN gamma producing cells were measured by Elispot assay (FIG. 14). In Group A low levels of IFN gamma producing cells were induced after immunisation and before boost and these increased uniformly in all pigs before challenge (FIG. 14A). In Group B responses were more variable between pigs and pigs had had higher numbers of IFN gamma producing cells before boost. However at the time of challenge these numbers had decreased slightly in all except 1 pig. The pig which was culled at the humane end point (B4) had a lower number of IFN gamma producing cells although similar in number to a pig which survive challenge (B5) (FIG. 14B).

    Scoring of Macroscopic Lesions at Post-Mortem

    [0326] Control non-immune pigs (Group E) showed lesions typical of acute ASFV including enlarged and haemmorhagic lymph nodes and spleen. Those pigs which survived challenge had few, if any, ASFV specific lesions (FIG. 15). The pigs culled at humane end points showed higher scores but less than the control pigs (data not shown).

    Viremia Comparison

    [0327] FIG. 16 directly compares virus genome in blood after immunisation with different viruses. Immunisation with BeninΔDP148R induces moderate levels of virus genome transiently, which decrease slowly over 60 days. No increase in replication or detectable challenge virus is observed (FIG. 16A). Deletion of the EP402R/CD2v gene (BeninΔDP148RΔCD2v virus) dramatically reduces the persistence of genome in blood (˜15 days maximum) and reduces the level in some pigs. No virus genome was detected post-challenge (FIG. 16B). The triple deletion BeninΔDP148RΔEP153RΔCD2v induces no detectable genome in blood post-immunisation and moderate to low levels after challenge decreasing to low or undetectable levels by the end of the experiment (FIG. 16C). The BeninΔDP148RΔEP153R-CD2vE99R virus induces a transient low level of virus genome in blood after immunisation and low levels after challenge (FIG. 16D).
