Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein are compositions relating to alphavirus-based virus-like particles (VLPs) and methods for making and using the described VLPs. The described compositions include VLPs and vectors and cells used to produce the VLPs. Also included are related methods to produce the VLPs, to transduce cells using the VLPs, and to produce a protein or polynucleotide of interest in a target cell using the VLPs. Also described are alphavirus-based replicons that allow for expression of proteins or polynucleotides of interest in a target cell without a cytopathic effect.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recombinant alphavirus particle, comprising: a. an alphavirus replicon vector construct generated from a Sindbis virus or Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus which directs the expression of a heterologous nucleic acid molecule, wherein said alphavirus replicon vector construct comprises (i) a 5′ sequence which initiates transcription of alphavirus RNA, (ii) a Rous sarcoma virus packaging signal, (iii) a nucleotide sequence encoding Sindbis virus or Venezu…
