Technical knockout: understanding poxvirus pathogenesis by selectively deleting viral immunomodulatory genes.
Cellular microbiology - 1 Aug 2004
Johnston J B, McFadden Grant
Abstract excerpt
The study of viral pathogens with genomes as large and complex as poxviruses represents a constant experimental challenge. Advances in recombinant DNA technologies have provided sophisticated methods to produce mutants defective in one or more viral genes, termed knockout (KO) viruses, thereby facilitating research into the impact of specific gene products on viral pathogenesis. Such strategies have rapidly...
