SPI-1 is a missing host-range factor required for replication of the attenuated modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine vector in human cells

Abstract: Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) is the leading poxvirus vector for development of vaccines against diverse infectious diseases. This distinction is based on high expression of proteins and good immunogenicity despite an inability to assemble infectious progeny in human cells, which together promote efficacy and safety. Nevertheless, the basis for the host-range restriction is unknown despite past systematic attempts to identify the relevant missing viral gene(s). The search for host-range factors is exace… Show more

“…A comparison between the genomes of VACV-WR and ACAM2000 showed the ACAM2000 has two major deletions in the inverted terminal repeats (ITR, C12-C18 at the left ITR and the corresponding duplicates at the right ITR), as well as mutations throughout the genome [ 77 , 80 ]. Among those deleted, C12 has been shown to be important for enabling modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) replication in human cells [ 81 , 82 ]. Some of those genes lost in ACAM2000 might regulate innate immune responses in cells, which complicates the role of STAT3 in VACV replication.…”

“…MVA 47.1+GFP was made by inserting the enhanced GFP ORF directed by a synthetic early/ late promoter [41] into MVA between the F12 and F13 ORFs. Deletion of C16, and insertion of C12 and/or C16 were described previously [7,8].…”

“…The sum total of the deletions from CVA (GenBank #: AM501482) that resulted in MVA (GenBank accession # AY603355.1 for Acambis 3000 MVA) was > 25 kilobase pairs, representing >13% of the entire virus genome [3], and includes genes encoding immune evasion and virulence factors. MVA is capable of infecting mammalian cells and expressing proteins but it is impaired in morphogenesis of infectious virions [5] due in part to the loss of the C12L gene encoding serine protease inhibitor-1 [6] and truncation of the C16L/B22R host-range gene [7]. MVA has been shown to be safe in humans, and a strain of MVA (MVA-BN) has been approved by regulatory authorities in Canada, the European Union [8], and the United States, as a prophylactic smallpox (and monkeypox in the USA) vaccine [9].…”
