The highly efficacious live-attenuated 17D yellow fever (YF) vaccine is occasionally associated with rare life-threatening adverse events. Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA), a non-replicating poxvirus, has been used as a vaccine platform to safely deliver various antigens. A MVA-based YF vaccine
Sequence analysis of the SalI g, h, i and j restriction fragments of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) genome from the virulent isolate Malawi (LIL20/1) identified three open reading frames (ORFs) encoding predicted proteins of 125.0K (g10L), 80.4K (j10L) and 58.0K (j11L) which showed homology to
BACKGROUND
Currently existing yellow fever (YF) vaccines are based on the live attenuated yellow fever virus 17D strain (YFV-17D). Although, a good safety profile was historically attributed to the 17D vaccine, serious adverse events have been reported, making the development of a safer, more modern
Bacteriophage lambda and plasmid clones containing African swine fever virus (ASFV) DNA inserts, which together covered more than 90% of the genome of a Malawi ASFV isolate (LIL 20/1), were transfected into vaccinia virus (VV)-infected cells. Expression of ASFV-encoded proteins was assayed at late
Recombinant vaccinia viruses were constructed and used in conjunction with site-specific antisera to study the coding capacity and detailed expression strategy of the M segment of the Phlebovirus Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). The M segment could be completely and faithfully expressed in
Two open reading frames (ORFs) of African swine fever virus (ASFV) encoding putative helicases have been sequenced. The two genes, termed D1133L and B962L, are located in the central region of the viral genome, but are separated by about 40 kb of DNA. Both genes are expressed late during ASFV
Lassa fever is an acute febrile disease of West Africa, where there are as many as 300,000 infections a year and an estimated 3000 deaths. As control of the rodent host is impracticable at present, the best immediate prospect is vaccination. We tested as potential vaccines in rhesus monkeys a
The Lister strain of vaccinia virus was used to construct a recombinant that expressed the nucleocapsid gene of Lassa virus. Guineapigs immunised with the recombinant virus were protected against challenge with Lassa virus, whereas control animals showed the usual disease course, including pyrexia,
A recombinant vaccinia virus that expresses the nucleoprotein gene of Lassa virus (Josiah strain) under the control of the P7.5 promoter was constructed using the lacZ coexpression transfer vector pSC11. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that recombination of the sequences inserted within the
The African swine fever virus (ASFV) strain Malawi LIL20/1 open reading frame (ORF) j13L was expressed in vaccinia virus (VV) from a strong synthetic late promoter as either a complete ORF (vSJ1) or lacking codons 1-31 (vSJ2). Each recombinant VV produced a small plaque which rapidly reverted to a
Vaccinia virus recombinants were constructed which contained cDNA sequences encoding the structural region of dengue 2 virus (PR159/S1 strain) or yellow fever virus (17D strain). The flavivirus cDNA sequences were expressed under the control of the vaccinia 7.5k early/late promotor. Cultured cells
Two African swine fever virus (ASFV) recombinant plasmids containing large inserts of DNA have been sequenced at random, and translations of the DNA sequence have been compared to libraries of vaccinia virus protein sequences. Among other genes identified by their extensive homology with vaccinia
Two related glycoproteins (G and G(NS)) encoded in the bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) genome were expressed from recombinant vaccinia viruses (rVV). Both proteins were detected in lysates of rVV-infected cells by labelling with D-[6-3H]glucosamine or by immuno-blotting. The recombinant G
We have previously demonstrated that mutant vaccinia viruses target tumors in vivo after systemic delivery, and they have potential as vectors for tumor-directed gene therapy. We hypothesized that hyperthermia may augment vaccinia delivery to tumors after systemic injection, as hyperthermia
Two vaccinia-vectored candidate vaccines for haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome were prepared by inserting cDNA, representing the medium (M) genome segment, or the M and the small (S) genome segments of Hantaan virus into the thymidine kinase gene of the Connaught vaccine strain of vaccinia
