Abstract
Vaccines containing vaccinia virus synthetically modified to contain DNA sequences not naturally occurring in vaccinia virus and provoking an immunological response thereto in host animals inoculated with said vaccines.
Claims4
An immunogenic composition comprising a recombinant vaccinia virus sythetically modified by recombination to have, within a non-essential region of the vaccinia genome, a heterologous DNA sequence which encodes an antigenic protein derived from a pathogen where said composition when administered to a susceptible host is capable of inducing an immunological response specific to the protein encoded by said pathogen.
