NYVAC: a highly attenuated strain of vaccinia virus

TL;DR: The NYVAC strain was demonstrated to be highly attenuated by the following criteria: greatly reduced virulence as demonstrated by the results of intracranial challenge of both 3-week-old or newborn mice; greatly reduced pathogenicity and failure to disseminate in immunodeficient (nude or cyclophosphamide treated) mice.

NYVAC vaccinia virus recombinants comprising heterologous inserts

TL;DR: In this article, a modified recombinant poxvirus, particularly recombinant vaccinia virus, having enhanced safety is described, where the genetic functions are inactivated by deleting an open reading frame encoding a virulence factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vaccinia virus host range genes.

TL;DR: A gene encoding an 18-kDa polypeptide located in the vaccinia virus HindIII C fragment was shown to be functionally equivalent to previously described host range gene (ORF K1L) spanning the HindIII K/M fragment junction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonreplicating viral vectors as potential vaccines: recombinant canarypox virus expressing measles virus fusion (F) and hemagglutinin (HA) glycoproteins.

TL;DR: The development of canarypox virus (CPV) recombinants expressing the hemagglutinin (HA) and fusion (F) glycoproteins of measles virus (MV) is described and elicit a protective immune response against a lethal canine distemper virus (CDV) challenge.
Patent

Genetically engineered vaccine strain

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified recombinant poxvirus, particularly recombinant vaccinia virus, having enhanced safety is described, where the genetic functions are inactivated by deleting an open reading frame encoding a virulence factor.
