发明名称 Modulation of replicative fitness by deoptimization of synonymous codons
摘要 Methods of producing a pathogen with reduced replicative fitness are disclosed, as are attenuated pathogens produced using the methods. In particular examples, the method includes deoptimizing one or more codons in a coding sequence, thereby reducing the replicative fitness of the pathogen. Methods of using the attenuated pathogens as immunogenic compositions are also disclosed.

主权项 1. A method of reducing replicative fitness of a virus, comprising: preparing a viral nucleic acid molecule comprising at least twenty deoptimized codons in a coding sequence of the virus by replacing each of the at least twenty codons in the coding sequence with a synonymous codon less frequently used in the virus, thereby generating a deoptimized viral nucleic acid molecule that reduces replicative fitness of the virus.
