A METHOD FOR PRODUCING RECOMBINANT VIRUSES USING SITE-SPECIFIC RECOMBINATION

摘要

Disclosed are the methods for producing recombinant viruses using in vitro site-specific recombination. In the present invention, linear viral genomic DNAs are digested to two segments, and are subjected to in vitro site-specific recombination with desired genomic materials flanked with site-specific recombinase sites. According to the present invention, since the site-specific recombination mixture can be applied to host cells without further procedures of selecting the recombinant viral genomic DNAs, it is possible to obtain numerous recombinant viruses rapidly at the same time. Thus, the present invention can be used as a high throughput system to generate hundreds or thousands of recombinant viruses.
