355 results about "Defective virus" patented technology

Virus which lacks a complete genome so that it cannot completely replicate or cannot form a protein coat; some are host-dependent defectives, meaning they can replicate only in cell systems which provide the particular genetic function which they lack; others, called satellite viruses, are able to replicate only when their genetic defect is complemented by a helper virus.

Helper-free, totally defective adenovirus for gene therapy

InactiveUS6228646B1Encapsidation efficiencyMaximal recombinationInactivation/attenuationNucleic acid vectorIn vivoHelper virus
A method for producing in vivo packaged recombinant adenovirus vectors is provided. The recombinant Ad vectors do not contain any Adenovirus genes and are therefore useful for gene therapy. The recombinant Adenovirus vectors are packaged in vivo using a helper virus which is itself very inefficiently packaged, providing a recombinant viral preparation with very little or no contamination with helper virus. In particular, the method makes use of a helper virus in which the packaging site can be easily excised in vivo by recombination mediated by a recombinase. The helper virus is also useful for the in vivo construction of new recombinant adenovirus vectors containing substitutions in the E1 or other adenoviral region.

Immunodeficiency recombinant poxvirus

Attenuated recombinant viruses containing DNA encoding an immunodeficiency virus and / or CTL antigen, as well as methods and compositions employing the viruses, expression products therefrom, and antibodies generated from the viruses or expression products, are disclosed and claimed. The recombinant viruses can be NYVAC or ALVAC recombinant viruses. The DNA can code for at least one of: HIV1gag(+pro)(IIIB), gp120(MN)(+transmembrane), nef(BRU)CTL, pol(IIIB)CTL, ELDKWA or LDKW epitopes, preferably HIV1gag(+pro)(IIIB), gp120(MN) (+transmembrane), two (2) nef(BRU)CTL and three (3) pol(IIIB)CTL etpitopes; or two ELDKWA in gp120 V3 or another region or in gp160. The two (2) nef(BRU)CTL and three (3) pol(IIIB)CTL epitopes are preferably CTL1, CTL2, pol1, pol2 and pol3. The recombinant viruses and gene products therefrom and antibodies generated by the viruses and gene products have several preventive, therapeutic and diagnostic uses. DNA from the recombinant viruses are useful as probes or, for generating PCR primers or for immunization. Also disclosed and claimed are HIV immunogens and modified gp160 and gp120.

Long Acting Biologically Active Conjugates

The invention provides biologically active compounds that may be reacted with macromolecules, such as albumin, to form covalent linked complexes wherein the resulting complexes exhibit a desired biological activity in vivo. More specifically, the complexes are isolated complexes comprising a biologically active moiety covalently bound to a linking group and a protein. The complexes are prepared by conjugating a biologically active moiety, for example, a renin inhibitor or a viral fusion inhibitor peptide, with purified and isolated protein. The complexes have extended lifetimes in the bloodstream as compared to the unconjugated molecule, and exhibit biological activity for extended periods of time as compared to the unconjugated molecule. The invention also provides anti-viral compounds that are inhibitors of viral infection and / or exhibit anti-fusiogenic properties. In particular, this invention provides compounds having inhibiting activity against viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human parainfluenza virus (HPV), measles virus (MeV), and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and that have extended duration of action for the treatment of viral infections.

Combined therapy for treatment of HIV infection

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical preparations and methods for treating individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The pharmaceutical preparations comprise an immunomodulating agent and a anti-retroviral compound. The pharmaceutical preparations are used to treat HIV infected patients, particularly for gastrointestinal complications arising from viral infection. In addition, the pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention have the effect of raising the levels of CD4+ single positive and CD4+ and CD8+ double positive T cells, thus promoting restoration and normalization of the immune system following HIV infection.
