  • Patent number: 11230574
    Abstract: A heterologous expression cassette, DNA construct and vaccine composition for immunization against flavivirus and/or other pathogens. DNA constructs, recombinant viruses and vaccine compositions containing the recombinant viruses were obtained. This invention also concerns and provide an improved expression vector of the live-attenuated yellow fever 17D virus. Modifications in the expression cassette of heterologous proteins in the intergenic E/NS1 region of the yellow fever 17D vaccine virus, were made. The two new functional domains inserted in the expression cassette were (1) a coding sequence for the N-glycosylation motif, located between the NS1 N-terminal motif and the heterologous protein and (2) a sequence which promoted the proteolytic cleavage, or not, of the recombinant protein in such a way as to release it from its C-terminal containing the transmembrane domains and, consequently, from its association with the membrane of the endoplasmatic reticulum—ER.

  • Patent number: 10286059
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is the production of recombinant virus through the cloning and expression of sequences of nucleotides encoding whole or part of heterologous proteins, through the following method: (a) modification of the heterologous nucleotides sequences in such way that when cloned and expressed in a vector virus, the 5? region nucleotides present in the 5? edge of the gene NS1 of this vector virus or of other virus or equivalent functional sequences, and in its 3? region, the correspondent genome region in the whole or part of the domains of the stem and anchor of the protein E of the vector virus or equivalent functional sequences, and not comprising the structure and the replication of the mentioned vector virus; (b) insertion of the modified heterologous sequences in (a) in the intergenic region at the structural protein E level and of the nonstructural NS1 vector virus; (c) obtaining the non pathogenic recombinant virus with immunologic properties, having the heterologous sequences
