โฆ Synopsis
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.

## Background: Mild psoralen and uv (puv) treatments inactivate viral dna replication, but the virus retains its ability to infect cells. thus, puv treatment of vaccinia virus (vv) vectors may increase the safety of gene delivery and extend the duration of gene expression. although the first studie
Over the past year improvements have been made in recombinant vaccinia virus gene expression and a new method for inserting DNA into the poxvirus genome has been developed, along with alternative methods for selecting recombinant viruses.

Vectors based on components of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have found increasingly wide applications in biotechnology. Three areas of recent advancement comprise the use of EBV vectors to improve the convenience of gene expression systems, the development of EBV vectors for gene transfer in gene therap
Adenoviruses possess a combination of features that make them highly suitable as vectors for expression of heterologous genes. Non-conditional and non-defective adeno-vectors have been constructed to obtain high level expression of a number of foreign genes and some of them have been shown in animal
## Summary The suitability of potato virus X (PVX) as a gene vector in plants was tested by analysis of two viral constructs. In the first, the GUS gene of Escherichia coli was substituted for the viral coat protein gene. In the second, GUS was added into the viral genome coupled to a duplicated co
