Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved expression and delivery system of a gene expression. SOLUTION: A system of gene expression and delivery system comprises (a) a replicon of flavivirus origin, substituting a part of nucleotide sequence encoding a structural protein coding region without disrupting replication capability and capable of inserting an expressible heterologous nucleotide sequence, and including at least a part of flavivirus core protein and (b) at least a second vector that is capable of expressing flavivirus structural protein, required for packaging of the replicon into infectious flavivirus-like particles, and when the replicon is present, the vector is engineered to prevent recombination with the replicon.
