A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926841B2) discloses a circular nucleic acid structure designed for conditional gene expression in cells. The nucleic acid comprises specific elements, including adeno-associated virus (AAV) sequences, promoters activated by helper polypeptides from Adenoviridae and Herpesviridae viruses, and transgenic coding sequences. Importantly, the circular nucleic acid does not contain an AAV cap gene, allowing for controlled expression of the transgenic coding sequence. The patent also covers methods for conditional gene expression, determining antiviral activity, detecting infectious viruses, quantifying virus levels, and identifying compounds with antiviral properties against Adenoviridae and Herpesviridae viruses.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a kit containing the described nucleic acid structure, helper polypeptides, polynucleotides, cells for transfection, and instructions for use. The methods outlined in the patent involve inducing gene expression through the activation of AAV promoters by helper polypeptides, determining antiviral activity of compounds, detecting and quantifying infectious viruses in samples, and identifying potential antiviral agents. The patent's innovative approach to conditional gene expression and antiviral research provides a valuable tool for the scientific community in studying and combating viruses from the Adenoviridae and Herpesviridae families.
