Abstract excerpt
Regulatory elements of the Escherichia coli lac operon were used to construct an inducer-dependent conditional-lethal mutant animal virus. The gene encoding the repressor protein of the lac operon was integrated into the vaccinia virus genome so that it was expressed constitutively, and the lac operator was inserted next to the promoter of a gene that encodes an 11-kDa virion-associated protein of unknown...
