Definitions
- the invention relates to recombinant influenza viruses for high-yield expression of incorporated foreign gene(s), which are genetically stable in the absence of any helper virus and which comprise at least one viral RNA segment being a tandem bicistronic RNA molecule coding for two genes in tandem, in said tandem bicistronic RNA molecule one of the standard viral genes being in covalent junction with a foreign, recombinant gene and having an upstream splice donor and a downstream splice acceptor signal surrounding the proximal coding region.
- tandem bicistronic RNA molecule contains one of the standard viral genes in distal mRNA position behind a foreign, recombinant gene in proximal position, or vice versa, both in antisense orientation with regard to the viral RNA within the virus.
- the proximal reading frame is flanked by splice donor and acceptor signals which have the quality to allow a partial yield of spliced mRNA only, i.e., resulting in the presence of both, spliced and unspliced mRNA simultaneously.
- the invention further provides a method for obtaining attenuated viruses which resist reassortment dependent progeny production in case of chance superinfections by wild-type influenza viruses; a method for the production of said recombinant influenza viruses; pharmaceutical compositions comprising said recombinant influenza viruses; and the use of said recombinant influenza viruses . for preparing medicaments for vaccination purposes.
- Redesigning influenza virus into a vector system for expression of foreign genes similar to what has been achieved in several other thoroughly studied viruses such as adenovirus, retrovirus, Semliki Forest virus or Rabies virus has the advantage of an industrially well established mode of cheap propagation for influenza in fertilized chicken eggs leading to rather high titers (above 10 10 /ml).
- adenovirus, retrovirus, Semliki Forest virus or Rabies virus has the advantage of an industrially well established mode of cheap propagation for influenza in fertilized chicken eggs leading to rather high titers (above 10 10 /ml).
- none of the constituent vRNA segments may be deleted from the influenza genome according to our present knowledge, and give room for large-size foreign insertions. Only small fragments of foreign polypeptide chains such as B cell epitopes (10 to 15 amino acids) may be inserted into selected positions within two of the viral proteins, i.e.
- promoter-up mutations modified terminal viral RNA sequences (hereinafter "promoter-up mutations" or promoter-up variants”) have been designed by nucleotide substitutions (Neumann and Hobom, Mutational analysis of influenza virus promoter elements in vivo, J.
- promoter-up variants carry up to five nucleotide substitutions (in promoter-up variant 1920; see Flick and Hobom, J. Gen. Virol. 80, 2565- 2572 (1999)).
- promoter-up variants When these promoter-up variants are attached to a recombinant ninth vRNA segment its increased transcription and amplification rate will not only compensate for the losses suffered spontaneously, but even cause accumulation of the foreign vRNA segment during simple viral passaging, in the absence of any selection.
- a balanced situation with regard to the insert length and the level of promoter activity can be achieved, and has been propagated in a particular case over 11 passages, with essentially stable levels of recombinant viruses among a majority of helper viruses (around 80%) during these steps. If a full-level promoter-up mutation is used (1104 or the variant 1920, see below) a balanced-level propagation is reached in conjunction with a recombinant vRNA size of 4000 nucleotides (Maysa Azzeh, Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Giessen (2000)).
- a recombinant influenza virus for high-yield expression of incorporated foreign gene(s), which is genetically stable in the absence of any helper virus and which comprises at least one viral RNA segment being an ambisense RNA molecule (designated "ambisense RNA segment") and containing one of the standard viral genes in sense orientation and a foreign, recombinant gene in anti-sense orientation, or w ' ce versa, in overall convergent arrangement (PCT/EPOO/01903).
- the ambisense RNA segment preferably should contain the promoter-up mutations.
- the PCT/EPOO/01903 moreover discloses a method of constructing specific influenza carrier (helper) strains carrying one or more ribozyme target sites (of type one) in vRNA flanking positions comprising
- RNA polymerase I synthesis of recombinant vRNAs in vivo, carrying two different 3 1 promoter sequences in tandem (an external promoter-up variant and an internal wild-type promoter), which are separated by a second type of ribozyme target sequence, and which carry the said internal ribozyme target sites of type one;
- the resulting special helper virus strains carrying a vRNA segment with external ribozyme target sites of type 1 in exchange for the equivalent regular vRNA molecule are then used for the rescue of ambisense RNA molecules. These are exclusively maintained in the recombinant viruses after passage of viral propagation through ribozyme (type 1) containing host cells, which will destroy the sensitive vRNA molecules of the specially prepared helper viruses.
- the above ambisense constructs are susceptible to (intranuclear) mRNA double-strand formation, which will partially reduce the expression rates of both the ambisense genes, in particular the gene driven by the (weaker) cRNA promoter.
- the fluctuating extent of this effect made it difficult to bring the expression rate of the influenza gene within the ambisense segment into balance with other influenza genes. This was the problem to be solved with the present invention.
- the recombinant viruses of the present invention can be used for cheap propagation in fertilized eggs, either for production of those recombinant viruses themselves or for production of foreign proteins or glycoproteins encoded by them, and hence find application in (glyco) protein production or in providing vector systems for somatic gene therapy or in being used as vaccination agents.

- RNA molecules including antisense RNAs and ribozymes
- Such recombinant influenza viruses are suitable for sequence specific gene silencing, for example by antisense or RNA interference mechanisms.
- a preferred recombinant virus of the invention is where in the regular viral RNA segments one or both of the standard glycoproteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase have been exchanged, preferably into fusion glycoproteins consisting of an anchor segment derived from hemagglutinin and an ectodomain obtained from the foreign source, viral or cellular, or in which such recombinant glycoprotein has been inserted as a third molecular species in addition to the remaining standard components.
- a preferred recombinant virus of the invention is where the terminal viral RNA sequences, which are active as promoter signal, have been modified by nucleotide substitution in up to 5 positions, resulting in improved transcription rates (of both the vRNA promoter and in the cRNA promoter as present in the complentary sequence) as well as enhanced replication and/or expression rates relative to the wild-type sequence.
- Said modified terminal viral RNA sequences differ from the wild-type sequence in that in said tandem vRNA segment the 12 nucleotide conserved influenza 3' terminal sequence has been modified by replacement of one to three nucleotides occurring in said sequence at positions 3, 5 and 8 relative to the 3' end by other nucleotides provided that the nucleotides introduced in positions 3 and 8 are forming a base pair (i.e., if the nucleotide position 3 is G, than that in position 8 is C; if the nucleotide in position 3 is C, than that in position 8 is G; etc.).
- the 3' conserved regions of the wild-type influenza virus have the following sequences:
- Influenza B (5')-NN(C/U)GCUUCUGCU-3' Influenza C: (5')-CCUGCUUCUGCU-3'.
- the 13 nucleotide conserved influenza 5'-terminal sequence may be modified by replacement of one or two nucleotides occurring in said sequence as positions 3 and 8 by other nucleotides, again provided that the introduced nucleotides are forming a base pair.
- the 5' conserved regions of the wild-type influenza virus have the following sequences: Influenza A: 5'-AGUAGAAACAAGG Influenza B: 5'-AGUAG(A/U)AACA(A/G)NN Influenza C: 5'-AGCAGUAGCAAG(G/A):
- Preferred influenza viruses of the invention are those wherein in the 3' conserved region the replacements G3A and C8U have been performed, more preferred are those where also the replacement U5C has been performed (the above mutations are annotated relative to the 3' end; such counting from the 3' end is also indicated by a line on top of the digit, e.g., G 3A).
- Another preferred influenza virus mutant comprises the 3'-terminal nucleotide sequence G3C, U5C and C8G (relative to the 3' end) resulting in the following 3' terminal nucleotide sequence (5')-CCUGGUUCUCCU-3 ⁇
- the influenza viruses defined hereinbefore those having a 3'- terminal nucleotide sequence of (5')-CCUGUUUCUACU-3' are most preferred.

- N and N' positions undefined, but base-paired relative to each other because of complementarity between the 5' and 3' termini, different among the 8 segments, but constant for each segment throughout all viral isolates;
- both gene products in these constructions is made possible by way of an upstream splice donor and a downstream splice acceptor signal surrounding the proximal coding region of such a quality that splicing does occur in part of the mRNA molecules only, i.e., both mRNAs spliced and unspliced are present in the infected cell.
- the bicistronic segment is connected to a promoter variant of enhanced replication and transcription rates as defined herein before.
- the splice donor and the splice acceptor signals are selected from authentic sequences as present in influenza segments 7 and 8 or other partially effective splice reaction substrates, preferably those of influenza virus WSN segment 7, i.e., 5'-AG ⁇ GTACGTTC-3' (donor) and 5'- GCTGAAAAATGATCTTCTTGAAAATTGCAG ⁇ GC-3' (acceptor) .
- tandem bicistronic mRNA codes for one of the viral genes, such as hemagglutinin, in conjunction with all or part of the viral neuraminidase coding sequence, in antisense orientation, while the authentic neuraminidase vRNA segment is missing in these recombinant viruses.
- an anti-neuraminidase ribozyme sequence is also provided together with the (partial) neuraminidase antisense sequence, in the proximal position of these bicistronic recombinant segments. Recombinant viruses of this character are propagated in culture media with addition of exogenous neuraminidase.
- a functional neuraminidase gene serves as a strong attenuation mechanism resulting in single-step infections of such recombinant viruses only. While a functional neuraminidase gene could be provided through another (wildtype) influenza virus superinfecting the same cell, expression of that gene is very much reduced through antisense RNA interaction and/or destruction of the corresponding vRNA through ribozyme cleavage, designed to interfere with production of infectious progeny even from co-infected cells; as a barrier against reassortment in double infected cells.
- Recombinant viral RNAs coding simultaneously for two genes in tandem in a construct in which one of the viral genes is in covalent junction with a foreign coding sequence are constructed via E. coli plasmid vector DNAs designed for an in vivo transcription of minus-strand vRNAs by cellular RNA polymerase I.
- the gene in plus-strand proximal (upstream) position is surrounded by splice signals of limited activity such that both mRNAs, spliced and unspliced are present in the infected cell.
- Either the foreign gene or the viral gene may be in that upstream position.
- the higher rates of expression will be reserved for the foreign coding sequence, while the lower expression rate of the viral gene is adapted to be approximately in balance with expression of the other viral genes encoded by the regular viral segments.
- the splice signals and the promoter have to be chosen properly (Flick and Hobom, Interaction of influenza virus, polymerase with viral RNA in the 'corkscrew' conformation, J. Gen. Virol. 80, 2565-2572 (1999)).
- the resulting mRNAs shall be spliced inefficiently if the viral gene is in the distal (downstream) position.
- the foreign gene if the foreign gene is in the distal position, splicing to obtain the foreign mRNA shall be achieved efficiently.
- Both designs serve to reach an over-expression of the foreign gene relative to the viral gene, of which the expression shall be in balance with the expression of the other viral genes.
- the promoter variant attached to the bicistronic segment has the function to compensate for the increased gene length by way of an increased replication rate.
- influenza vRNA segments preferably used for construction of bicistronic segments include the neuraminidase (No. 6), hemagglutinin (No. 4) and NS segment (No. 8). In the NS segment the foreign gene may also substitute for the NS1 gene leaving the viral NS2 gene in its place.
- These recombinant viruses can, as an example, be made by the following procedure: A recombinant virus population can be selected by repeated ribozyme-mediated cleavage of helper-virus segments carrying ribozyme cleavage sites that flank the same viral gene in the monocistronic segment as is present in the bicistronic construct (PCT/EPOO/01903).
- a balanced mode of expression can be achieved in choosing the right set of elements: promoter, splice signals plus a limited variation in segment length.
- the construct that gives rise to the balanced, stable expression is then used as a basis for a multiple cDNA transfection procedure in a helper-virus free design according to Neumann et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol 96, 9345-9350 (March 1999).
- the resulting recombinant influenza virus obtained via single plaques in pure helper-free state is subjected to another series of propagation steps to finally evaluate its properties.
- this design is used for a controlled mode of viral attenuation.
- Attenuation of influenza viruses so far has been achieved in cold-sensitive mutants (Edwards et al., J. Infect. Dis. 169, 68-76(1994)), by deletion of the NS1 gene (partial attenuation, Egorov et al., J. Virol. 72, 6437-6441 (March 1998) and Palese et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA, 4309-4314 (April 2000)), or through deletion of the neuraminidase gene (full attenuation, Kawaoka et al., J. Virol. 74, 5206-5212 (June 2000)).
- the latter approach is adapted here using a novel technique for the attenuation, which for the first time is also able to interfere with (chance) superinfection by wild-type viruses.
- a bicistronic cDNA construct is achieved, which instead of a foreign gene is coding either for part of or for the entire viral neuraminidase gene in antisense orientation, with or without being surrounded both by splice donor and acceptor elements.
- a 2 x 50 nucleotide antisense segment complementary to the 5'-terminal neuraminidase sequence has been cloned in flanking positions relative to a ribozyme construct according to the hammerhead design and oriented against a common GUC triplett within the neuraminidase sequence.
- this antisense expression construct has been attached to the hemagglutinin vRNA segment, while another gene or reporter gene is encoded in a second bicistronic vRNA, in conjunction with NS2.

- the supernatant containing a mixture of helper viruses and recombinant viruses was collected for further propagation after 8 to 12 hours of infection, while the sedimented cells were used for preparation of a cell lysate, fractions of which were inserted in the CAT assay procedure.
- Viral propagation was achieved by infection of MDCK cells (Madin-Darby canine kidney cell line) again in semi-confluent state (5xl0 6 to 10 7 cells per plate), generally using 1ml of the previous supernatant for infection. Serial propagations were done in the same way, with preparation of cell lysates for CAT assays at the end of each step. Infected cells were also used for observation of GFP fluorescence.
- Bacterial chloramphenicol-acetyltransferase is accumulated in eukaryotic cells without degradation and can be used for representative gene expression measurements.
- the substrate used here is fluorescent boron-dipyrromethane-chloramphenicol diflouride (FLASH CAT-KIT ® ; Stratagene). 50 ⁇ l of cell lysate or reduced/diluted samples thereof were used for incubation with 7.5 ⁇ l of fluorescent substrate and 10 ⁇ l acetyl- CoA (4mM) co-substrate in 19 mM Tris/HCI, pH: 7.5 at 37°C for 3 hours.
