Abstract excerpt
Host restriction of vaccinia virus has been previously described in CHO and RK13 cells in which a cowpox virus CP77 gene rescues vaccinia virus growth at the viral protein translation level. Here we investigate the restrictive stage of vaccinia virus in HeLa cells using a vaccinia mutant virus (VV-hr) that contains a deletion of 18-kb genome sequences resulting in no growth in HeLa cells. Insertion of CP77 gene...
