Expression vectors that are based on live human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are attractive, yet often overlooked in vaccine development due to their limited capacity for foreign gene inserts and poor genetic stability. This chapter describes a novel methodology to engineer a replication-competent genetically stable recombinant HRV (rHRV) without affecting viral replication capability. We have previously used these methods to generate live, genetically stable recombinant HRVs encoding HIV Gag and Tat proteins (rHRV-Gag-Tat), a potential mucosally targeted HIV vaccine.
