Estimating the term…
The present application relates to arenaviruses with rearrangements of their open reading frames (“ORF”) in their genomes. In particular, described herein is a modified arenavirus genomic segment, wherein the arenavirus genomic segment is engineered to carry a viral ORF in a position other than the wild-type position of the ORF. Also described herein are trisegmented arenavirus particles comprising one L segment and two S segments or two L segments and one S segment. The arenavirus, described herein may be suitable for vaccines and/or treatment of diseases and/or for the use in immunotherapies.
An arenavirus genomic segment, wherein the genomic segment is engineered to carry a viral open reading frame (“ORF”) in a position other than the wild-type position of the ORF, wherein the arenavirus genomic segment is selected from the group consisting of:
A tri-segmented arenavirus particle comprising one L segment and two S segments, wherein one of the two S segments is selected from the group consisting of:
A tri-segmented arenavirus particle comprising one L segment and two S segments, wherein a first S segment is engineered to carry an ORF encoding GP in a position under control of an arenavirus 3′ UTR and an ORF encoding a first gene of interest in a position under control of an arenavirus 5′ UTR and a second S segment is engineered to carry an ORF encoding NP in a position under control of an arenavirus 3′ UTR and an ORF encoding a second gene of interest in a position under control of an arenavirus 5′ UTR.
A tri-segmented arenavirus particle comprising one L segment and two S segments, wherein a first S segment is engineered to carry an ORF encoding GP in a position under control of an arenavirus 5′ UTR and an ORF encoding a first gene of interest in a position under control of an arenavirus 3′ UTR and a second S segment is engineered to carry an ORF encoding NP in a position is under control of an arenavirus 5′ UTR and an ORF encoding a second gene of interest in a position under control of an arenavirus 3′ UTR.
