Abstract excerpt
Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA), having acquired genomic deletions during passage in chicken embryo fibroblasts, is highly attenuated and unable to productively infect most mammalian cell lines. Multiplication in rabbit kidney-derived RK13 cells, but not other nonpermissive cells, can be restored by insertion of the vaccinia virus K1L gene into the MVA genome. During nonproductive infection of RK13 cells by...
