Abstract

This invention concerns recombinant RNA molecules comprising a recognition sequence for the binding of an RNA-directed RNA polymerase, a sequence for the initiation of product strand synthesis and a heterologous sequence of interest inserted at a specific site in the internal region of the recombinant molecule. Such recombinant RNA molecules are capable of serving as a template for the synthesis of complementary single-stranded molecules by RNA-directed RNA polymerase. The product molecules so formed are also capable of serving as a template for the synthesis of additional copies of the original recombinant RNA molecule. In a preferred embodiment of the invention Qଲ replicase is used as the RNA-directed RNA polymerase.
