Vaccine against infection induced by herpes virus, recombinant virus genome, use of the genome and use thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of so-called host cell-associated herpes viruses such as Marek's disease like virus (MDV) of poultry and of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) of man and to vaccination against disease caused by these viruses. The invention provides a vaccine directed against an infection caused by a herpes virus that is essentially host cell associated comprising a recombinant viral genome derived from said herpes virus, wherein said genome allowing recombination essentially free of said host cell.
