Abstract:The production of wild-type-free stocks of recombinant parvovirus minute virus of mice MVM(p)] is difficult due to the presence of homologous sequences in vector and helper genomes that cannot easily be eliminated from the overlapping coding sequences. We have therefore cloned and sequenced spontaneously occurring defective particles of MVM(p) with very small genomes to identify the minimal cis-acting sequences required for DNA amplification and virus production. One of them has lost all capsid-coding sequences but is still able to replicate in permissive cells when nonstructural proteins are provided in trans by a helper plasmid. Vectors derived from this particle produce stocks with no detectable wild-type MVM after cotransfection with new, matched, helper plasmids that present no homology downstream from the transgene.
