Summary for Patent: 9,249,192
Title:Infectious genomic DNA clone and serological profile of Torque teno sus virus 1 and 2
Abstract: The present invention also provides infectious DNA clones, biologically functional plasmid or viral vector containing the infectious nucleic acid genome molecule of Torque teno sus virus (TTsuV). The present invention also provides methods for diagnosing TTsuV infection via immunological methods, e.g., enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot using PTTV specific antigens for detecting serum PTTV specific antibodies which indicate infections TTsuV1, TTsuV2, and individual TTsuV1 genotypes.

Assignee: Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties, Inc. (Blacksburg, VA)
Application Number:13/840,805
Patent Claims:1. An infectious nucleic acid molecule comprising at least two concatemeric or tandem copies of a full-length genome of TTsuV2.

2. The infectious nucleic acid molecule of claim 1, wherein the full-length genome of TTsuV2 is set forth in SEQ ID NO:1.

3. The infectious nucleic acid molecule of claim 1, wherein the genomic sequence is selected from sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:2.

4. The infectious nucleic acid molecule of claim 2, wherein the full-length genome of TTsuV2 comprising at least one genetic marker in intron 1.

5. The infectious nucleic acid molecule of claim 4, wherein the genetic marker in intron 1 is an artificially introduced restriction site.

6. A biologically functional plasmid or viral vector containing the infectious nucleic acid molecule according to claim 1.

7. The biologically functional plasmid or viral vector of claim 6, containing more than one copy of the infectious nucleic acid molecule.

8. The biologically functional plasmid or viral vector of claim 6, wherein the full-length genome of TTsuV2 is selected from SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2.

9. An isolated host cell transfected by a vector comprising the infectious nucleic acid molecule according to claim 1.

10. An infectious TTsuV produced by isolated cells containing the infectious nucleic acid molecule according to claim 5.
