Neomycin resistance as a dominant selectable marker for selection and isolation of vaccinia virus recombinants.
The antibiotic G418 was shown to be an effective inhibitor of vaccinia virus replication when an appropriate concentration of it was added to cell monolayers 48 h before infection. Genetic engineering techniques were used in concert with DNA transfection protocols to construct vaccinia virus recombinants containing the neomycin resistance gene (neo) from transposon Tn5. These recombinants conta...
متن کاملPlaque size phenotype as a selectable marker to generate vaccinia virus recombinants.
In this report, we provide a new method for selection of vaccinia virus recombinants expressing foreign genes. The method is based on the use of the gene encoding the viral 14,000-molecular-weight envelope protein that rescues the small-plaque-size phenotype of a vaccinia virus variant to large-plaque-size virus. Selection of recombinants is easily obtained after visual inspection of large vira...
متن کاملIsolation of vaccinia MVA recombinants using the viral F13L gene as the selective marker.
Modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) is a highly attenuated vaccine vector that has an excellent vaccine safety record. Also, as a eukaryotic gene expression vector, MVA can be used in a biosafety level 1 setup, in contrast to more virulent vaccinia virus strains. Isolation of recombinant MVA involves repeated plaquing of the virus and is burdensome because virus plaques are slow to develop and diffi...

متن کاملGeneral method for production and selection of infectious vaccinia virus recombinants expressing foreign genes.
The production and selection of infectious vaccinia virus recombinants expressing foreign genes was facilitated by the construction of plasmid vectors. These vectors contain all or part of the vaccinia virus thymidine kinase (TK) gene interrupted by multiple unique restriction endonuclease sites placed adjacent to the TK promoter or another promoter translocated within the TK gene. The insertio...
