Abstract
Fowlpox virus (FPV) or other avipox virus promoter DNA for use in expressing a foreign gene inserted in a FPV vector by homologous recombination, which comprises the promoter of the following 4a gene, said 4a gene encoding a protein of very roughly about 890 amino acids in a sequence beginning Met Met Leu Ile Lys Asn Ile Val Thr Leu Asp Gln Leu Glu Ser Ser Asp Tyr Leu Tyr.
Claims8
An isolated DNA consisting essentially of the promoter sequence which is located immediately to the 5'-end of a gene in the fowlpox virus genome, said gene being designated the FP4a gene and identified as that which encodes a protein of 800-1000 amino acids in a sequence beginning with the sequence ##STR3##
Recombinant DNA comprising the promoter sequence which is located immediately to the 5'-end of a gene in the fowlpox virus genome, said gene being designated the FP4a gene and identified as that which encodes a protein of 800-1000 amino acids in a sequence beginning with the sequence ##STR5## transcribably linked to a foreign gene.
