Abstract excerpt
Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) was generated by serial passaging in chicken embryo fibroblasts. During this attenuation, MVA lost the capacity to productively grow in human and most other mammalian cell lines, as well as acquiring a multitude of deletions and mutations in the MVA genome. This means that the precise molecular basis for the MVA host-range restriction is still unknown. The vaccinia virus...
