Abstract: The present invention relates to a cytoplasmic transduction peptide (CTP) showing transduction potential, as well as cytoplasmic remaining potential and various uses thereof. The CTP of this invention exhibits a transduction potential identical or higher than the conventional protein transduction, PTD, and a strong tendency to remain in the cytoplasm, so that it is very useful in inducing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and a drug delivery system (DDS) targeting cytoplasm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to (a) methods for improving a genetic stability of an insert nucleotide sequence in a recombinant single-stranded RNA virus vector, which comprises performing a mutagenesis of the foreign insert nucleotide sequence to provide even distribution of G/C content throughout the overall foreign insert nucleotide sequence and/or to increase G/C content of the foreign insert without substantially causing amino acids substitutions (b) a recombinant single-stranded RNA virus comprising an insert nucleotide sequence with improved genetic stability and (c) a recombinant poliovirus comprising an insert nucleotide sequence with improved genetic stability.

Abstract: A replication-competent recombinant Sabin type 1 poliovirus vector containing a sequence coding for multiple cloning site and 3C-protease cleavage site is provided. This vector makes it easy to introduce various vaccine genes from infectious viruses to the Sabin 1 poliovirus, and facilitates to produce chimeric Sabin 1 polioviruses that are expected to be powerful oral mucosal vaccines against several infectious viral diseases.
