Vaccinia virus replication is not affected by APOBEC3 family members
Background The APOBEC3G protein represents a novel innate defense mechanism against retroviral infection. It facilitates the deamination of the cytosine residues in the single stranded cDNA intermediate during early steps of retroviral infection.

Target cell-dependent T cell-mediated lysis of vaccinia virus-infected cells [PDF]
Vaccinia virus specific cytotoxicity against infected target cells was observed in vitro. Spleen lymphocytes from normal and immunized mice of the inbred strains C3H and DBA/2 were incubated with vaccinia virus-infected and non-infected 51Cr-labeled ...

Passatempo Virus, a Vaccinia Virus Strain, Brazil
Passatempo virus was isolated during a zoonotic outbreak. Biologic features and molecular characterization of hemagglutinin, thymidine kinase, and vaccinia growth factor genes suggested a vaccinia virus infection, which strengthens the idea of the ...

Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells of the bone marrow. Although the prognosis is variable, no curative therapy has been defined. Vaccinia virus infects cancer cells and kills such cells in a variety of ways.

Pre-clinical efficacy and safety of experimental vaccines based on non-replicating vaccinia vectors against yellow fever. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Currently existing yellow fever (YF) vaccines are based on the live attenuated yellow fever virus 17D strain (YFV-17D). Although, a good safety profile was historically attributed to the 17D vaccine, serious adverse events have been reported,

Shared determinants between virus-infected and trinitrophenyl-conjugated H-2-identical target cells detected in cell-mediated lympholysis [PDF]
Infection of H-2-identical mice with either lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus, vaccinia virus, or paramyxo (Sendai) virus resulted in the generation of specifically sensitized cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL).

Identification of sites phosphorylated by the vaccinia virus B1R kinase in viral protein H5R [PDF]
Background: Vaccinia virus gene B1R encodes a erine/threonine protein kinase. In vitro this protein kinase phosphorylates ribosomal proteins Sa and S2 and vaccinia virus protein H5R, proteins that become phosphorylated during infection.

Construction of three strains of recombinant oncolytic vaccinia virus and their anti-tumor activity [PDF]
Objective The aim of this study is to construct a recombinant oncolytic vaccinia virus with CCL5 and SSTR2 genes and to detect its antitumor activity. Methods Recombinant vaccinia virus eukaryotic expression plasmid pSC65-CCL5-SSTR2-Luc+ was constructed.

Expression of the murine cytomegalovirus glycoprotein H by recombinant vaccinia virus [PDF]
The sequence of the gene encoding glycoprotein H (gH) of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) strain Smith was determined and compared with the sequence of the gH of MCMV strain K181. Transcriptional analysis showed that gH is encoded by a large mRNA of 5.0 kb,
