Rearrangement of the Genes of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Eliminates Clinical Disease in the Natural Host: New Strategy for Vaccine Development
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Gene expression among the nonsegmented negative-strand RNA viruses is controlled by distance from the single transcriptional promoter, so the phenotypes of these viruses can be systematically manipulated by gene rearrangement. We examined the potential of gene rearrangement as a means to develop live attenuated vaccine candidates against Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in domestic swine, a natural host for this...
