From the Semliki Forest virus (SFV) vectors can be
produced faster, and have a wider host range, than baculovirus vectors.
However, the original SFV system requires in vitro
manipulation of RNA. We have generated a system that is wholly
DNA-based. Both the replicon vector, encoding SFV polymerase and the
protein of interest, and the helper vector, encoding viral structural
proteins, were modified so that expression was RNA polymerase
II-dependent. Transfection of the modified replicon plasmid
alone generated 20-30-fold more protein than obtained from a simple
expression vector. Expression required the SFV replicase, which
amplifies replicon RNA. The SFV-based vector generated 10-20-fold more
protein than a plasmid based on Sindbis virus. Cotransfection of SFV
replicon and helper vectors generated viral titers of around
106 infectious particles/ml. A single electroporation,
plated on one 10-cm plate, generated enough virus (107
particles) to produce >500 µg of protein. Wild type, replication proficient virus was not detected in three tests utilizing almost 108 viral particles, a distinct advantage over a DNA
Sindbis-based system in which over half the virus particles generated
are fully infectious. The new SFV vectors significantly enhance the
utility of this expression system.
