Orf virus (ORFV) is an epitheliotropic poxvirus, which belongs to the genus Parapoxvirus. Among them the highly attenuated, apathogenic strain D1701-V is regarded as a promising candidate for novel virus vector vaccines. Our recent work demonstrated that those ORFV-based recombinants were able to induce protective, long-lasting immunity in various hosts that are non-permissive for ORFV. In this chapter we describe procedures for the generation, selection, propagation, and titration of ORFV recombinants as well as transgene detection by PCR or immunohistochemical staining.
羊痘病毒(ORFV)是一种嗜上皮性痘病毒,属于副痘病毒属。其中高度减毒、无致病性的D1701-V株被认为是新型病毒载体疫苗的有前景的候选者。我们最近的工作表明,那些基于ORFV的重组体能够在对ORFV不敏感的各种宿主中诱导保护性的、持久的免疫。在本章中,我们描述了ORFV重组体的产生、筛选、增殖和滴定的程序,以及通过PCR或免疫组织化学染色进行转基因检测的方法。
