  • Fowlpox virus promoter
    Patent number: 5374558
    Abstract: Avipox virus, especially fowlpox virus (FPV), for promoting the transcription of a foreign gene inserted in a fowlpox virus (FPV) vector, said DNA comprising the promoter of the gene which encodes a protein of about 53 amino acids in a sequence beginning:Met Glu Ser Pro Ala Glu Lys Pro Thr IleAsp Ser Pro Pro Glu Gly Asn Val Gln Proor a variation of such an amino acid sequence, said promoter consisting substantially of sequence to the 5' end of said gene which is non-coding for said gene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 1991
    Date of Patent: December 20, 1994
    Assignee: British Technology Group Ltd.
    Inventors: Matthew M. Binns, Michael E. G. Boursnell, Joan I. A. Campbell
  • Avipox virus promoter
    Patent number: 5332676
    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 beginningMet Met Leu Ile Lys Asn Ile Val Thr LeuAsp Gln Leu Glu Ser Ser Asp Tyr Leu Tyr.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 1992
    Date of Patent: July 26, 1994
    Assignee: British Technology Group Limited
    Inventors: Matthew M. Binns, Michael E. G. Boursnell, Joan I. A. Campbell
  • Fowlpox virus non-essential regions
    Patent number: 5310671
    Abstract: The invention relates to DNA from fowlpox virus (FPV) providing a non-essential region for the insertion of foreign genes thereinto and thence the construction of a vector for homologous recombination with a wild type FPV, whereby the resulting recombinant FPV can be used for vaccination of animals, especially chickens. In this invention, the non-essential region consists substantially of a length of DNA from the long unique sequence of the terminal inverted repeat (TIR) of FPV or from the region at FPV which corresponds approximately to the HindIII D fragment genes D8 and D9 in vaccinia virus.
    Type: Grant

  • Fowlpox virus promoters
    Patent number: 5182210
    Abstract: Fowlpox virus (FPV) promoter DNA for use in expressing a foreign gene inserted in a FPV vector by homologous recombination, which comprises the promoter of any of the following FPV genes:(1) The FB4b gene which encodes a protein of about 657 amino acids in a sequence beginning ##STR1## (2) The BamHI fragment ORF8 gene encoding a protein of about 116 amino acids in a sequence beginning ##STR2## (3) The BamHI fragment ORF5 gene encoding a protein of about 105 amino acids in a sequence beginning ##STR3## (4) The BamHI fragment ORF10 gene encoding a protein of about 280 amino acids in a sequence beginning ##STR4##
