Viral vectors and methods for producing and using the same

a technology of viral vectors and vectors, which is applied in the field of reagents and methods for producing viral vectors, can solve the problems of inability to complete viral replication or produce new virus particles, low yield, and inability to complete viral replication, so as to reduce or even eliminate contamination with adenovirus, improve aav production titers, and reduce the reliance on e1a+ packaging cells

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]Use of the inventive reagents and methods may improve AAV production titers, reduce or even essentially eliminate contamination with adenovirus, and allow for the use of an E1a+ hybrid adenovirus (or an additional E1a+ adenovirus), thereby decreasing reliance on an E1a+ packaging cell. Moreover, improved packaging cell lines expressing the AAV Rep proteins (and, optionally, capsid protein) may be possible if the E1a genes are provided by a vector rather than the cell.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional methods of AAV production are known to have a number of drawbacks, including, low yield, contamination with adenovirus particles, and reliance on E1a+ packaging cell lines (e.g., 293 cells).
The resulting virus is replication-incompetent and cannot complete viral replication or produce new virus particles.

Cell Culture

[0178]293 cells, C-7 cells (Amalfitano et al. (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.

[0179]96:8861-8866), and GSD II patient fibroblasts were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U penicillin per milliliter, and 100 μg streptomycin per milliliter at 37° C. in a 5% CO2-air atmosphere. C-7 cells were grown in the presence of hygromycin, 50 μg / ml. HeLa cells were maintained in minimum essential medium Eagle supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1 mm minimum essential medium sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mm minimum essential medium non-essential amino acids, 100 U penicillin per milliliter, and 100 μg streptomycin per milliliter at 37° C. in a 5% CO2-air atmosphere.

Transduction of Cultured Cells

[0180]HeLa cells and GSD II fibroblasts were plated at 1×106 cells per 150 mm tissue culture dish. Cells were transduced the next day by adding a volume of the respective vector stock containing 1,000, 10,000, or 50,000 DNase I-resistant vector particles (as defined by Southern blot analysis) per cell. Cells were harvested five days later for hGAA measurement and Western blotting analysis.

Construction of an AAV Vector Plasmid Encoding hGAA

[0181]The hGAA cDNA was subcloned with the CMV promoter from pcDNA3-hGAA (Van Hove et al. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93:65-70) into an AAV vector plasmid to generate pAAV-CBGAApA. The vector sequences from pAAV-CBGAApA were isolated as a 4.4 kbp fragment from a partial BglII digest, and ligated with the calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase-dephosphorylated BglII site of pShuttle (He et al. (1998) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 95:2509-2514).

Abstract

A recombinant hybrid virus, including: (a) a deleted adenovirus vector genome comprising the adenovirus 5′ and 3′ cis-elements for viral replication and encapsidation, and further comprising a deletion in an adenovirus genomic region selected from the group consisting of: (i) the polymerase region, wherein said deletion essentially prevents the expression of a functional polymerase protein from said deleted region and said hybrid virus does not otherwise express a functional polymerase protein, (ii) the preterminal protein region, wherein said deletion essentially prevents the expression of a functional preterminal protein from said deleted region, and said hybrid virus does not otherwise express a functional preterminal protein, and (iii) both the regions of (i) and (ii); and (b) a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector genome flanked by the adenovirus vector genome sequences of (a), said recombinant AAV vector genome comprising (i) AAV 5′ and 3′ inverted terminal repeats, (ii) an AAV packaging sequence, and (iii) a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, wherein said heterologous nucleic acid sequence is flanked by the 5′ and 3′ AAV inverted terminal repeats of (i). Methods of making and using the recombinant hybrid virus are also disclosed.
