Set of Vectors for the Expression of Histidine-Tagged Proteins in Vaccinia Virus Recombinants [PDF]
BioTechniques, 2001 Vaccinia virus expression vectors are widely used to direct the expression of proteins in eukaryotic cells. Here, we describe a new set of plasmid vectors designed for the expression of histidine-tagged proteins in the vaccinia system.

An mRNA Vaccine Based on Antigens From Conserved Regions of Monkeypox Virus A35R and M1R With a Dimer-Like Conformation Confers Protection Against Both Monkeypox Virus and Vaccinia Virus Infections in Mice. [PDF]
MedComm (2020)We developed four candidate mRNA vaccine antigens based on conserved sequences of MPXV A35R and M1R proteins. Our findings demonstrate that the MV2 vaccine possesses favorable immunogenicity and prophylactic potential against MPXV and VACV infections, positioning it as a promising clinical candidate for MPXV prevention.

Temporal expression classes and functions of vaccinia virus and mpox (monkeypox) virus genes [PDF]
mBioPoxviruses comprise pathogens that are highly pathogenic to humans and animals, causing diseases such as smallpox and mpox (formerly monkeypox). The family also contains members developed as vaccine vectors and oncolytic agents to fight other diseases ...

Group 2 Vaccinia Virus, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 In 2011, vaccinia virus caused an outbreak of bovine vaccinia, affecting dairy cattle and dairy workers in Brazil. Genetic and phenotypic analyses identified this isolate as distinct from others recently identified, thereby reinforcing the hypothesis ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 In addition to the 3′-poly(A) tail, vaccinia virus mRNAs synthesized after viral DNA replication (post-replicative mRNAs) possess a 5′-poly(A) leader that confers a translational advantage in virally infected cells.

Vaccinia virus-based vector against infectious diseases and tumors
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2021 Vaccinia virus was used to prevent smallpox. After the World Health Organization declared smallpox extinct, vaccinia virus has been explored for the development of vaccines against a variety of infectious diseases.

Attenuation of Vaccinia Virus [PDF]
Acta Naturae, 2015 Since 1980, in the post-smallpox vaccination era the human population has become increasingly susceptible compared to a generation ago to not only the variola (smallpox) virus, but also other zoonotic orthopoxviruses. The need for safer vaccines against orthopoxviruses is even greater now.

Biomedicines, 2020 As a live biologic agent, oncolytic vaccinia virus has the ability to target and selectively amplify at tumor sites. We have previously reported that deletion of thymidine kinase and ribonucleotide reductase genes in vaccinia virus can increase the ...

Vaccinia E5 is a major inhibitor of the DNA sensor cGAS
Nature Communications, 2023 The DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is critical in host antiviral immunity. Vaccinia virus (VACV) is a large cytoplasmic DNA virus that belongs to the poxvirus family.

Innate immune response of human plasmacytoid dendritic cells to poxvirus infection is subverted by vaccinia E3 via its Z-DNA/RNA binding domain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play important roles in antiviral innate immunity by producing type I interferon (IFN). In this study, we assess the immune responses of primary human pDCs to two poxviruses, vaccinia and myxoma virus.
