Abstract:
1. A method for producing a protein, polypeptide, peptide, antigen, or epitope in vitro comprising infecting a host cell with a recombinant Modified Vaccinia Ankara Virus (MVA) comprising a heterologous DNA sequence encoding the protein, polypeptide, peptide, antigen, or epitope inserted into an intergenic region (IGR) of the viral genome, wherein the IGR is selected from the group consisting of IGRs: 001 L-002L, 002L-003L, 005R-006R, 006L-007R, 007R-008L, 008L-009L, 017L-018L, 018L-019L, 019L-020L, 020L-021L, 023L-024L, 024L-025L, 025L-026L, 028R-029L, 030L-031L, 031 L-032L, 032L-033L, 035L-036L, 036L-037L, 037L-038L, 039L-040L, 043L-044L, 044L-045L, 046L-047R, 049L-050L, 050L-051L, 051 L-052R, 052R-053R, 053R-054R, 054R-055R, 055R-056L, 061 L-062L, 064L-065L, 065L-066L, 066L-067L, 077L-078R, 078R-079R, 080R-081R, 081R-082L, 082L-083R, 085R-086R, 086R-087R, 088R-089L, 089L-090R, 092R-093L, 094L-095R, 096R-097R, 097R-098R, 101R-102R, 103R-104R, 105L-106R, 107R-108L, 108L-109L, 109L-110L, 110L-111L, 113L-114L, 114L-115L, 115L-116R, 117L-118L, 118L-119R, 122R-123L, 123L-124L, 124L-125L, 125L-126L, 133R-134R, 134R-135R, 137L-138L, 141 L-142R, 143L-144R, 144R-145R, 145R-146R, 146R-147R, 147R-148R, 148R-149L, 152R-153L, 153L-154R, 154R-155R, 156R-157L, 157L-158R, 159R-160L, 160L-161R, 162R-163R, 163R-164R, 164R-165R, 165R-166R, 166R-167R, 167R-168R, 170R-171R, 173R-174R, 175R-176R, 176R-177R, 178R-179R, 179R-180R, 180R-181R, 183R-184R, 184R-185L, 185L-186R, 186R-187R, 187R-188R, 188R-189R, 189R-190R, and 192R-193R; and cultivating the infected host cell under suitable conditions for expression of the protein, polypeptide, peptide, antigen, or epitope.
