RECOMBINANT, REPLICATION DEFECTIVE CELO VIRUS AND CELO VIRUS DNA.

摘要

Recombinant CELO virus or CELO virus DNA with a deletion or disruption of the Gam1 gene, optionally combined with deletions at the right or left end of the viral genome that allow insertion of large pieces of foreign DNA. The virus is useful as a vaccine for animals, in particular birds, and for gene therapy and vaccine applications in humans. The virus can also be used for recombinant protein production.
