چکیده
Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-based vectors have been used as platforms for the generation of genetic vaccines against different viruses. Some of the advantages of defective HSV-1 vectors include: (a) HSV-1 can infect most cell types, including antigen-presenting cells; (b) HSV-1 vectors have a large transgene capacity (up to 150-kbp); (c) HSV-1 vectors can be designed to cause no toxicity; (d) different studies showed that mice vaccinated with such vectors encoding antigens from different pathogens were partially protected, indicating that HSV-1 based vectors are attractive tools for the development of safe genetic vaccines. There are two main platforms of HSV-1-derived vectors: defective recombinant viruses (deleted in ICP4, ICP27 and ICP22 genes) and amplicons. Defective HSV-1 viruses can only be propagated using a complementing cell line. Production of amplicons depends on helper functions, provided in trans. In both systems, different genetic elements were intentionally introduced to conduct the heterologous gene expression and to allow the titration of the vector stocks in different cell lines. In our group, HSV-1 vectors were developed for the expression of several rotavirus genes. Genes from other pathogens were also expressed, thus generating a set of

Ultrastructural Study of Rotavirus Replication and Localization of the Intermediate Capsid Protein VP6
Rotavirus, a triple-layered non-enveloped member of the Reoviridae family, obtained a transient membrane envelope when newly synthesized subviral particles bud into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). As rotavirus particles mature, they lose their transient membrane and obtain outer layer. It is mostly believed that only double layered particles bud into the ER. The present study describes that the...
متن کاملAntigenicity and Immunogenicity of Rotavirus VP6 Protein Expressed on the Surface of Lactococcus lactis
Group A rotaviruses are the major etiologic agents of acute gastroenteritis worldwide in children and young animals. Among its structural proteins, VP6 is the most immunogenic and is highly conserved within this group. Lactococcus lactis is a food-grade, Gram-positive, and nonpathogenic lactic acid bacteria that has already been explored as a mucosal delivery system of heterologous antigens. In...
متن کاملConstruction of Various γ34.5 Deleted Fluorescent-Expressing Oncolytic herpes Simplex type 1 (oHSV) for Generation and Isolation of HSV-Based Vectors
Background: Oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV)-based vectors lacking γ34.5 gene, are considered as ideal templates to construct efficient vectors for (targeted) cancer gene therapy. Herein, we reported the construction of three single/dually-flourescence labeled and γ34.5-deleted, recombinant HSV-1 vectors for rapid generation and easy selection/isolation of different HSV-Based v...
متن کاملProduction of in vivo-biotinylated rotavirus particles.
Although inserting exogenous viral genome segments into rotavirus particles remains a hard challenge, this study describes the in vivo incorporation of a recombinant viral capsid protein (VP6) into newly assembled rotavirus particles. In vivo biotinylation technology was exploited to biotinylate a recombinant VP6 protein fused to a 15 aa biotin-acceptor peptide (BAP) by the bacterial biotin lig...
متن کاملImmunization with baculovirus-expressed recombinant rotavirus proteins VP1, VP4, VP6, and VP7 induces CD8+ T lymphocytes that mediate clearance of chronic rotavirus infection in SCID mice.
Clearance of chronic murine rotavirus infection in SCID mice can be demonstrated by adoptive transfer of immune CD8+ T lymphocytes from histocompatible donor mice immunized with a murine homotypic rotavirus (T. Dharakul, L. Rott, and H.B. Greenberg, J. Virol 64:4375-4382, 1990). The present study focuses on the protein specificity and heterotypic nature of cell-mediated clearance of chronic mur...
