  • Publication number: 20180339038
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a virus vector, which can effectively transfer a macromolecular antigenic peptide into target cells while maintaining a three-dimensional structure that is required for functioning as an antigen; and a vaccine utilizing the vector. Specifically, disclosed are: a virus vector, in which a nucleic acid encoding an antigenic polypeptide is integrated immediately 5? upstream of HN gene of an F gene-defective Paramyxoviridae virus gene, wherein the antigenic polypeptide is expressed as a fusion protein of 130 or more amino acid residues, fused with a TM sequence and/or a CT sequence derived from the virus.

  • Patent number: 9695444
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a virus vector in which a gene encoding an antigenic polypeptide is integrated in human parainfluenza virus type 2 gene, wherein the antigenic polypeptide is expressed in the form of a fusion protein with a viral structural protein; and a method for producing the same. The virus vector of the present invention contains a quantitatively large amount of the antigenic peptide on the virus particle and can efficiently deliver the antigenic polypeptide to a target cell.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8911975
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cell system, as a host cell to be infected with an F gene-deficient virus, which can constitutively and stably express the F protein, and a method for producing an F gene-deficient virus by utilizing the cell. A non-proliferative human parainfluenza type 2 virus vector is produced by co-culturing an F gene-deficient human parainfluenza type 2 virus with a Vero cell having the F gene of human parainfluenza type 2 virus in such a manner that the F gene is non-inducibly expressed, and isolating viral particles from a culture supernatant.
