[0169] Analysis and Recovery of Isfahan Virus (ISFV)
[0170] A system has been developed for the recovery of recombinant Isfahan virus (rISFV) from plasmid DNA encoding the ISFV genomic cDNA. The safety of wild-type (wt) rISFV and the attenuated variant rISFVN4ΔCT25gag1 was investigated in a highly sensitive 4- to 5-week-old NIH Swiss Webster mouse intracranial neurovirulence model. with LD with 50 wtVSV IN In contrast, unmodified rISFV wt exhibited LD 50 >10 3 PFU. with 10 4 LD 50 rVSV IN N2CT1 vs. rISFVN4ΔCT25gag1 exhibits LD 50 >10 7 . These results suggest that rISFV and VSV IN Compared to being fundamentally less pathogenic, multiple attenuation strategies (N shuffling, truncation of the G protein cytoplasmic tail) may not be required to achieve e.g. rVSV IN Similar safety and immunogenicity of the vector.

[0202] Construction of attenuated rISFV vectors and truncated ISFV G cytoplasmic tails using gene shuffling
[0203] Construction of rISFV-N4G5-MCS1. Plasmid pPBS-ISFV-008 contains the nucleic acid sequence 5'-N 1 -P 2 -M 3 -G 4 -L 5 -3' [antigenome of rISFV]. Subscript numbers indicate the genomic location of each ISFV gene, P (encoding phosphoprotein), M (encoding matrix protein), G (encoding attachment protein), N (encoding nucleocapsid protein) and L (encoding polymerase protein).
[0204] Plasmid pPBS-ISFV-009 contains the nucleic acid sequence 5'-MCS 1 -N 2 -P 3 -M 4 -G 5 -L 6 -3' (antigenome of rISFV with an additional transcription cassette at position 1). According to this formula, the MCS (multiple cloning site) is the empty transcription unit (TU) at position 1 immediately upstream of the ISFVN in the rISFV antigenome. Subscript numbers indicate the antigenomic position of each ISFV gene, P (encoding phosphoprotein), M (encoding matrix protein), G (enco...

[0243] animal research
[0244] A series of mouse studies were performed to investigate the relative safety and efficacy of immunogenic compositions comprising rISFV vectors expressing alphavirus proteins. Due to the known neurovirulence properties of vesicular and related viruses, mouse intracranial (IC) LD 50 Models were used for preliminary evaluation of vector safety (Olitsky et al., Journal of Experimental Medicine. 1934, 59:159–71; Frank et al., Am J Vet Res. 1945, Jan:28–38; Sabin et al., Journal of Experimental Medicine. Medicine. 1937, 66:15-34; Rao et al., Lancet. 2004, 364(9437):869-74). Efficacy was evaluated in rigorous VEEV and EEEV challenge models.
[0245] Neurovirulence of rISFV vectors. A preliminary study was performed to investigate the neurovirulence properties of unmodified rISFV and a highly attenuated variant expressing HIV-1 gag (rISFV-N4GΔCT25HIVgag1). with known LD from previous studies 50 rVSV IN The N2CT1 vector was used as a positive contr...
