Replication-Competent Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes of Marek's Disease Virus: Novel Tools for Generation of Molecularly Defined Herpesvirus Vaccines
28 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease (MD), a highly infectious disease caused by an oncogenic herpesvirus, is one of the few herpesvirus diseases against which live attenuated vaccines are used as the main strategy for control. We have constructed bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) of the CVI988 (Rispens) strain of the virus, the most widely used and effective vaccine against MD. Viruses derived from the BAC clones were stable...
