Replicon RNA Viral Vectors as Vaccines
Single-stranded RNA viruses of both positive and negative polarity have been used as vectors for vaccine development. In this context, alphaviruses, flaviviruses, measles virus and rhabdoviruses have been engineered for expression of surface protein genes and antigens. Administration of replicon RNA vectors has resulted in strong immune responses and generation of neutralizing antibodies in var...
متن کاملDampened antiviral immunity to intravaginal exposure to RNA viral pathogens allows enhanced viral replication
Understanding the host immune response to vaginal exposure to RNA viruses is required to combat sexual transmission of this class of pathogens. In this study, using lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) in wild-type mice, we show that these viruses replicate in the vaginal mucosa with minimal induction of antiviral interferon and inflammatory response, causing dampened...
متن کاملp53-dependent antiviral RNA-interference facilitates tumor-selective viral replication
RNA-interference (RNAi) is a potent tool for specific gene silencing. In this study, we developed an adenovirus for conditional replication in p53-dysfunctional tumor cells that uses p53-selective expression of a microRNA-network directed against essential adenoviral genes. Compared to a control virus that expressed a scrambled microRNA-network, antiviral RNAi selectively attenuated viral repli...
متن کاملAdenovirus vectors deleted for genes essential for viral DNA replication.
Adenovirus (Ad) gene therapy vectors made replication defective by deletion of the E1 region (first-generation vectors) induce high-level inflammation that leads to loss of both transduced gene expression and transduced cells. First-generation vectors were initially considered to be incapable of viral DNA replication, but it is necessary to delete one or more of the genes, all in the E2 transcr...
متن کاملP164: Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-link disease. The incidence of this muscle-wasting disease is 1:5000 male live births. Mutation in the gene coding for dystrophin is the main cause of BMD. Most cases of this disease succumb to respiratory and cardiac failure in 3rd to 4th decades. The slow progression of BMD and recent achievement of gene therapies make it as an appropriate c...
