Abstrakt: Replication-incompetent single cycle infectious Influenza A Virus (sciIAV) has demonstrated utility as a research and vaccination platform. Protein-based therapeutics are increasingly attractive due to their high selectivity and potent efficacy but still suffer from low bioavailability and high manufacturing cost. Transient RNA-mediated delivery is a safe alternative that allows for expression of protein-based therapeutics within the target cells or tissues but is limited by delivery efficiency. Here, we develop recombinant sciIAV as a platform for transient gene delivery in vivo and in vitro for therapeutic, research, and manufacturing applications ( in vivo antimicrobial production, cell culture contamination clearance, and production of antiviral proteins in vitro ). While adapting the system to deliver new protein cargo we discovered expression differences presumably resulting from genetic context effects. We applied a high-throughput screen to map these within the 3'-untranslated and coding regions of the hemagglutinin-encoding segment 4. This screen revealed permissible mutations in the 3'-UTR and depletion of RNA level motifs in the N-terminal coding region.
