The use of selectable markers (ecogpt) and selection pressures to aid in detection of poxvirus (Vaccinia, VV) recombinants has been implicated in the unintended introduction of second site mutations. We have reinvestigated the use of the helper virus system described by Scheiflinger et al. and adapted by Yao and Evans which produces recombinants at a high frequency in the absence of any selection, at a rate of...
