Non-replicating recombinant vector derived from adeno-associated virus AAV, serotype rh74, lacking all AAV viral genes and carrying the human micro-dystrophin (hMicro-Dys) gene
VSV-GP128 is a recombinant live-attenuated Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV), modified to minimize the potential of neurotoxicity for humans and skin disease in animals, and engineered to contain cancer antigens, which help it induce an immune response against colorectal tumour cells.
The nOPV2 candidate strains include different combinations of 5 distinct modified regions of the Sabin-2 genome, including changes to the RNA sequence in the 5’ untranslated region of polio genome (5’ UTR), the capsid protein coding region (P1), the non-structural protein 2C, and the polymerase 3D. Of these modifications, only the changes to polymerase 3D result in a change in the amino acid sequence. The rest of the modifications aim to stabilize the genetic sequence against reversion in either the 5’ UTR or capsid regions.
