A series of plasmids containing hepatitis A virus (HAV) cDNA was constructed such that positive-strand HAV RNA could be transcribed with T7 RNA polymerase. The plasmids differed in the number of 5'-terminal nucleotides representing the junctions between vectors and HAV sequences that were present in the transcripts. When these transcripts were used to transfect cultured BS-C-1 cells, it was found that only those transcripts that contained all of the 5'-terminal HAV nucleotides, in addition to one or more nucleotides from the vector, were capable of initiating an infectious cycle leading to production of progeny virus. Transcripts that contained one 5'-terminal nucleotide from the vector sequence but were missing two uridylate residues corresponding to the first two nucleotides of HAV sequences, or were missing U and C residues corresponding to nucleotides 2 and 3 of the HAV sequence, were not infectious. A similar plasmid containing poliovirus cDNA was engineered to produce transcripts similarly lacking the first two uridylate residues of the poliovirus RNA sequence. These transcripts were infectious.
