<p>The present invention relates to methods of preparing a DNA comprising steps , wherein (a) a DNA comprising a full length copy of the genomic RNA (gRNA) or an RNA virus; or (b) a DNA comprising one or several fragments of a gRNA of an RNA virus, which fragments code for an RNA dependent RNA polymerase and at least one structural or non-structural protein; or (c) a DNA having a homolo gy of at least 60% to the sequences of (a) or (b); is cloned into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). Additionally, DNAs are provided, which comprise sequences derived from the genomic RNA (gRNA) of a coronavirus which sequenc es have a homology of at least 60% to the natural sequence of the virus and cod e for an RNA dependent RNA polymerase and at least one structural or no- structural protein, wherein a fragment of said DNA is capable of being transcribed into RNA which RNA can be assembled to a virion. Further, the us e of these nucleic acids for preparation of viral RNA or virions as well as pharmaceutical preparations comprising these DNAs, viral RNAs or virions is disclosed.</p> |
