Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccinia virus: a selectable eukaryotic cloning and expression vector
TL;DR: These studies demonstrate the use ofvaccinia virus as a selectable cloning and expression vector, confirm the map location of the vaccinia virus TK gene, and provide initial information regarding the location of vacciniairus transcriptional regulatory sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious vaccinia virus recombinants that express hepatitis B virus surface antigen
TL;DR: Potential live vaccines against hepatitis B virus have been produced and cells infected with these vaccinia virus recombinants synthesize and excrete HBsAg and vaccinated rabbits rapidly produce antibodies toHBsAg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccinia virus recombinant expressing herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein D prevents latent herpes in mice
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that a genetically engineered vaccine can prevent the development of latency and Immunity to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and protected the mice against subsequent lethal challenge with HSv-1 or HSV-2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eukaryotic transient expression system dependent on transcription factors and regulatory DNA sequences of vaccinia virus
TL;DR: Recombinant plasmids containing the promoter regions of vaccinia virus genes ligated to the coding segment of the prokaryotic chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene and an inhibitor of DNA synthesis significantly reduced CAT expression suggest that replication of viral DNA templates can enhance transcription of chimeric genes in recombinant Plasmids.

Recombinant poxviruses having foreign DNA expressed under the control of poxvirus regulatory sequences
TL;DR: Recombinant poxviruses, such as vaccinia, are provided that comprises a segment comprised of (A) a first DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide that is foreign to poxvirus and (B) a pox virus transcriptional regulatory sequence, wherein (i) said regulatory sequence is adjacent to and exerts transcriptional control over said first DNA sequences and (ii) said segment is positioned within a nonessential genomic region of said recombinant povirus as discussed by the authors.
