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,

Cytolytic T lymphocyte recognition of the murine cytomegalovirus nonstructural immediate-early protein pp89 expressed by recombinant vaccinia virus [PDF]
The murine immediate-early (IE) protein pp89 is a nonstructural virus- encoded phosphoprotein residing in the nucleus of infected cells, where it acts as transcriptional activator.

The formin FHOD1 and the small GTPase Rac1 promote vaccinia virus actin-based motility [PDF]
Vaccinia virus dissemination relies on the N-WASP– ARP2/3 pathway, which mediates actin tail formation underneath cell-associated extracellular viruses (CEVs).

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.

Vaccinia Virus Infections in Martial Arts Gym, Maryland, USA, 2008
Vaccinia virus is an orthopoxvirus used in the live vaccine against smallpox. Vaccinia virus infections can be transmissible and can cause severe complications in those with weakened immune systems.

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 ...
