Abstract

Provided herein are engineered human papilloma virus (HPV) molecular vaccine constructs. Vaccine constructs can also include ligand-inducible engineered gene switch systems for modulating expression of heterologous genes, such as a cytokines, in host cells.

Claims (12)

1. A polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide construct comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 52 or 54.

2. A vector comprising the polynucleotide of claim 1 .

3. The vector of claim 2 , wherein the vector is an adenoviral vector.

4. The polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide construct comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 54.

5. The polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide construct comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 52.

6. The vector of claim 3 , wherein the adenoviral vector is a gorilla adenoviral vector.

7. The vector of claim 6 , wherein the gorilla adenoviral vector does not comprise an E1 region.

8. The vector of claim 6 , wherein the gorilla adenoviral vector does not comprise an E4 region.

9. The vector of claim 6 , wherein the gorilla adenoviral vector does not comprise an E1 region or an E4 region.

10. The vector of claim 6 , wherein the gorilla adenoviral vector is a GC46 vector.

11. The vector of claim 6 , wherein the polynucleotide is under the control of an immediate early cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter.

12. A method of vaccinating a subject against human papilloma virus, the method comprising administering to the subject the vector of claim 6 .
