STRAIN DIS-DERIVED RECOMBINANT VACCINIA VIRUS HAVING NOVEL INFLUENZA VIRUS-DERIVED HEMAGGLUTININ PROTEIN GENE

摘要

Provided are: a recombinant vaccinia virus which is effective for the prevention of the development of a disease by the infection by H7 avian influenza virus and has high safety; and a vaccine against H7 avian influenza virus, which comprises the recombinant vaccinia virus. The recombinant vaccinia virus according to the present invention is a recombinant vaccinia virus having such a structure that an expression promoter and the full length or a part of cDNA encoding hemagglutinin protein of H7 avian influenza virus are contained in the genome for vaccinia virus strain DIs.
