Viral expression systems allow for the rapid production of large amounts of recombinant protein in cell culture. In particular, Sindbis virus vectors now exist that make possible the expression of a variety of heterologous proteins in mammalian culture systems. Unfortunately, infection of cultured c

Improvements to vaccinia virus expression vectors continue to be made. In particular, there are new methods for the construction of recombinant viruses, ways of increasing the level of gene expression, and vectors that allow the inducible expression of selected genes.
The most recent developments in mammalian cell inducible expression systems have involved the use of bacterial gene control elements and viral transactivator proteins. The combination of hybrid viral transactivator and bacterial repressor proteins, and simple chemical inducers can provide induction

## Abstract ## Background Malignant glioma has a dismal prognosis. It was previously shown that glioma cells are efficiently killed when they express a gene coding for a hyperfusogenic mutant of the gibbon ape leukemia virus envelope glycoprotein (GALV.fus). However, production of viral vectors ex
