30 results about "Simian Adenoviruses" patented technology

A method for providing an adenovirus from a serotype which does not grow efficiently in a desired cell line with the ability to grow in that cell line is described. The method involves replacing the left and right termini of the adenovirus with the corresponding termini from an adenovirus which grow efficiently in the desired cell line. At a minimum, the left terminus spans the 5′ inverted terminal repeat, the left terminus spans the E4 region and the 3′ inverted terminal repeat. The resulting chimeric adenovirus contains the internal regions spanning the genes encoding the penton, hexon and fiber from the serotype which does not grow efficiently in the desired cell. Also provided are vectors constructed from novel simian adenovirus sequences and proteins, host cells containing same, and uses thereof.

A method for providing an adenovirus from a serotype which does not grow efficiently in a desired cell line with the ability to grow in that cell line is described. The method involves replacing the left and right termini of the adenovirus with the corresponding termini from an adenovirus which grow efficiently in the desired cell line. At a minimum, the left terminus spans the (5′) inverted terminal repeat, the left terminus spans the E4 region and the (3′) inverted terminal repeat. The resulting chimeric adenovirus contains the internal regions spanning the genes encoding the penton, hexon and fiber from the serotype which does not grow efficiently in the desired cell. Also provided are vectors constructed from novel simian adenovirus sequences and proteins, host cells containing same, and uses thereof.

The present invention relates to novel adenovirus strains with an improved seroprevalence. In one aspect, the present invention relates to isolated polypeptides of adenoviral capsid proteins such as hexon, penton and fiber protein and fragments thereof and polynucleotides encoding the same. Also provided is a vector comprising the isolated polynucleotide according to the invention and adenoviruses comprising the isolated polynucleotides or polypeptides according to the invention and a pharmaceutical composition comprising said vector, adenovirus, polypeptide and / or polynucleotide. The invention also relates to the use of the isolated polynucleotides, the isolated polypeptides, the vector, the adenoviruses and / or the pharmaceutical composition for the therapy or prophylaxis of a disease.

Simian adenoviral vectors are formulated with bioadhesives and excipients that maintain immunogenicity. They can be administered mucosally to provide effective prophylaxis and therapy.

The present invention relates to recombinant adenoviruses and vectors thereof. In particular, the adenoviruses are novel simian adenoviruses having a low seroprevalence and high immunogenicity relative to other adenoviruses and vectors thereof. The invention also provides methods for production of the adenoviruses and for the treatment of diseases by administering the adenoviral vector(s) to a subject (e.g., a human).

The present invention relates to novel adenovirus strains with a high immunogenicity and no pre-existing immunity in the general human population. The lack of pre-existing immunity is due to novel hypervariable regions in the adenoviral capsid protein hexon. The novel adenovirus strains also have an improved capacity for reproduction. The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences of these novel adenovirus strains, as well as recombinant viruses, virus-like particles and vectors based on these strains. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses in the therapy or prophylaxis of a disease, and methods for producing an adenovirus or virus-like particles utilizing the novel sequences, recombinant viruses, virus-like particles and vectors.
