Expression and characterization of bovine lactoperoxidase by recombinant vaccinia virus

Expression and Characterization of Bovine Milk Antimicrobial Proteins Lactoperoxidase and Lactoferrin by Vaccinia Virus

Expression and characterization of glycoprotein gp35 of hepatitis C virus using recombinant vaccinia virus.

Complementary DNA clones corresponding to one of the putative structural regions of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome were obtained from sera of non-A non-B hepatitis patients. The putative envelope gene was expressed by using a recombinant vaccinia virus carrying this region of the HCV genome. In cells infected with the recombinant vaccinia virus, a glycosylated protein with an M(r) of about ...

Expression of dengue virus structural proteins and nonstructural protein NS1 by a recombinant vaccinia virus.

A recombinant vaccinia virus containing cloned DNA sequences coding for the three structural proteins and nonstructural proteins NS1 and NS2a of dengue type 4 virus was constructed. Infection of CV-1 cells with this recombinant virus produced dengue virus structural proteins as well as the nonstructural protein NS1. These proteins were precipitated by specific antisera and exhibited the same mo...

Enhanced expression of the Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein by a recombinant vaccinia virus.

The complete coding sequence of the Epstein-Barr virus strain B95-8 latent membrane protein (LMP) was cloned using a Raji cell cDNA library and genomic B95-8 DNA. The clone was characterized by sequencing and then used to make a recombinant vaccinia virus. This virus (VLMP) was shown to express a relatively high level of LMP in an authentic fashion. Antisera raised in rabbits against VLMP were ...

Characterization of hepatitis E virus recombinant ORF2 proteins expressed by vaccinia viruses.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV), an enterically transmitted pathogen, is one of the major causes of acute hepatitis in humans worldwide, being responsible for outbreaks and epidemics in regions with suboptimal sanitary conditions, in many of which it is endemic. In industrialized countries, hepatitis E is rarely reported, but recent studies have revealed quite high human seroprevalence rates and the po...
