Abstract
Embodiments herein report compositions, methods, uses and manufacturing procedures for rotavirus constructs and immunogenic compositions thereof. Some embodiments concern compositions that include, but are not limited to, chimeric rotaviruses of use in immunogenic compositions against rotavirus infection as well as against other pathogenic virus infection in a subject. In certain embodiments, constructs of use herein can be generated and used where a rotavirus expression system further includes one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding one or more polypeptides of another pathogen (e.g. another enteric or mucosal pathogen).
Claims11
A recombinant rotavirus comprising:
- a gene segment including a nucleotide sequence encoding at least one nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- rotavirus nonstructural protein 1 (NSP1), rotavirus nonstructural protein 3 (NSP3), rotavirus nonstructural protein 5 (NSP5);
- and
- a nucleotide sequence encoding a non rotavirus polypeptide, wherein the (i) NSP1, NSP3, or NSP5 and (ii) the non-rotavirus polypeptide are encoded by a single open reading frame, separated by a self-cleavage protease domain.
