<p>2118234 9321306 PCTABS00027 The present invention relates to engineering attenuated viruses by altering a non-coding region or the coding sequence of a viral gene. Alterations of the non-coding regions which regulate transcription and/or replication are described. These alterations result in the down-regulation of the viral gene and an attenuation of the virus, either by the production of defective particles during replication, or by reducing the number of progeny virions produced during viral replication. Alterations of viral coding sequences are also described which result in a recombinant or chimeric attenuated virus.</p> |
