Abstract: The present invention provides a novel transfer vector and a recombinant baculovirus; methods for the production thereof; pharmaceuticals containing the recombinant baculovirus as an active ingredient, which are useful as preventive or therapeutic drugs for infectious diseases such as malaria and influenza; and methods for preventing and treating infectious diseases such as malaria and influenza. More specifically, the invention provides a recombinant transfer vector capable of expressing a foreign gene fused to a virus gene under the control of a dual promoter; a recombinant baculovirus; methods for the production thereof; pharmaceuticals containing the recombinant baculovirus as an active ingredient; and methods for preventing and treating infectious diseases such as malaria and influenza comprising administrating the recombinant baculovirus to patients.

Abstract: To provide a method for producing, at high purity, a recombinant baculovirus which exhibits intended immunogenicity and is useful for a pharmaceutical (e.g., a vaccine), a transfer vector for use in the production of the recombinant baculovirus, and a method for producing the transfer vector. The method for producing a transfer vector which includes therein a fusion gene containing at least one gene encoding a virus-particle-forming protein and a gene encoding a foreign immunogenic protein, the method including modifying the polynucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the virus-particle-forming protein so as not to alter the amino acid residues constituting a corresponding naturally occurring virus-particle-forming protein and/or modifying the polynucleotide sequence of the gene so that a portion of the amino acid residues constituting the naturally occurring virus-particle-forming protein is deleted.
