1. An RNA expression cassette comprising a first and second transcription unit, wherein:
(a) the first transcription unit comprises a first alphavirus subgenomic promoter operably linked to a first coding sequence which encodes a mutant capsid protein of a first alphavirus, but not a glycoprotein of the first alphavirus, wherein the mutant capsid protein has reduced autoproteolytic activity; (b) the second transcription unit comprises a second alphavirus subgenomic promoter operably linked to a second coding sequence which encodes non-structural proteins 1-4 of a second alphavirus,wherein the expression cassette enhances production of replicon particles while minimizing generation of replication competent viral particles (RCVs) when used in a suitable packaging cell line. |
