The HPIV2 V protein inhibits type I interferon (IFN) induction and signaling. To manipulate the V protein, whose coding sequence overlaps that of the polymerase-associated phosphoprotein (P), without altering the P protein, we generated an HPIV2 virus in which P and V are expressed from separate genes (rHPIV2-P+V). rHPIV2-P+V replicated like HPIV2-WT in vitro and in non-human primates. HPIV2-P+V was...
In wild-type human parainfluenza virus type 2 (WT HPIV2), one gene (the P/V gene) encodes both the polymerase-associated phosphoprotein (P) and the accessory V protein. We generated a HPIV2 virus (rHPIV2-V ko ) in which the P/V gene encodes only the P protein to examine the role of V in replication in vivo and as a potential live attenuated virus vaccine. Preventing expression of V protein...
Previously, we identified several attenuating mutations in the L polymerase protein of human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2) and genetically stabilized those mutations using reverse genetics [Nolan SM, Surman S, Amaro-Carambot E, Collins PL, Murphy BR, Skiadopoulos MH. Live-attenuated intranasal parainfluenza virus type 2 vaccine candidates developed by reverse genetics containing L polymerase...
Recombinant human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV1) and mutants containing point and deletion (Δ) mutations in the P/C gene (r-C Δ10–15 HN T553A , r-C R84G , r-C F170S and r-C Δ170 ), which have previously been evaluated as HPIV1 vaccine candidates, were evaluated for their effect on the type I interferon (IFN) response in vitro. HPIV1 wt infection inhibited...
The P/C gene of human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV1) encodes a nested set of related accessory C proteins, C′/C/Y1/Y2, which have been shown in other paramyxoviruses to have a role in evasion of the type I interferon (IFN) response following virus infection. We previously demonstrated that a set of two amino acid substitutions, C R84G /HN T553A , and a separate amino acid substitution,...
We evaluated the individual contributions of the three surface glycoproteins of human metapneumovirus (HMPV), namely the fusion F, attachment G, and small hydrophobic SH proteins, to the induction of serum HMPV-binding antibodies, serum HMPV-neutralizing antibodies, and protective immunity. Using reverse genetics, each HMPV protein was expressed individually from an added gene in recombinant human...
Live-attenuated recombinant human parainfluenza virus type 2 (rHPIV2) vaccine candidates were created using reverse genetics by importing known attenuating mutations in the L polymerase protein from heterologous paramyxoviruses into the homologous sites of the HPIV2 L protein. Four recombinants (rF460L, rY948H, rL1566I, and rS1724I) were recovered and three were attenuated for replication in hamsters...
A set of recombinant, live attenuated human parainfluenza virus type 1 (rHPIV1) vaccine candidates was evaluated for attenuation, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy in African green monkeys (AGMs). Temperature sensitive (ts) and non-ts attenuating (att) mutations in the P/C and L genes were introduced individually or in various combinations into rHPIV1, including the C R84G and HN ...
