SINGLE RECOMBINATION SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

The present invention is directed to a modified poxvirus vector that allows for the generation of recombinant poxviruses by a single recombination event. A modified poxvirus vector comprising at least one reporter gene located between two flanking sequences for homologous recombination is disclosed. Furthermore, a host cell comprising said vector and a method for the generation of recombinant poxviruses using said vector are provided.
