Patent number: 7192740Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant viral nucleic acid selected from a (+) sense, single stranded RNA virus possessing a native subgenomic promoter encoding for a first viral subgenomic promoter, a nucleic acid sequence that codes for a viral coat protein whose transcription is regulated by the first viral subgenomic promoter, a second viral subgenomic promoter and a second nucleic acid sequence whose transcription is regulated by the second viral subgenomic promoter. The first and second viral subgenomic promoters of the recombinant viral nucleic acid do not have homologous sequences relative to each other. The recombinant viral nucleic acid provides the particular advantage that it systemically transcribes the second nucleic acid in the host. Host organisms encompassed by the present invention include procaryotes and eucaryotes, particularly animals and plants.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2002Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Large Scale Biology CorporationInventors: Jonathan Donson, William O. Dawson, George L. Grantham, Thomas H. Turpen, Ann Myers Turpen, Stephen J. Garger, Jr., Laurence K. Grill

Patent number: 5889190Abstract: The present invention is directed to recombinant plant viral nucleic acids and to hosts infected thereby. The recombinant plant viral nucleic acids comprise a native plant viral subgenomic promoter, at least one non-native plant viral subgenomic promoter, a plant viral coat protein coding sequence, and optionally, at least one non-native nucleic acid sequence to be transcribed or expressed in the infected host plant. The recombinant plant viral nucleic acids are stable, capable of systemic infection and capable of stable transcription or expression in the plant host of the non-native nucleic acid sequences.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: March 30, 1999Assignee: Biosource Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jon Donson, William O.
