A RECOMBINANT MVA VIRUS, AN ISOLATED EUKARYOTIC CELL, INFECTED WITH RECOMBINANT MVA VIRUS, A METHOD FOR PRODUCTION IN VITRO OF POLYPEPTIDES WITH USE OF SAID CELL, A METHOD FOR PRODUCTION IN VITRO OF VIRUS PARTS (VARIANTS), VACCINE CONTAINING THE RECOMBINANT MVA VIRUS, A METHOD FOR IMMUNIZATION OF ANIMALS

摘要

Recombinant MVA viruses containing and capable of expressing foreign genes which is inserted at the site of a naturally occurring deletion within the MVA genome, and the use of such recombinant MVA viruses for the production of polypeptides, e.g. antigenes or therapeutic agents, and for the production of recombinant viruses for vaccines, or viral vectors for gene therapy.
