Abstract: Recoding of the genetic code, through +1 frameshifting, −1 frameshifting or stop codon readthrough, will alter the protein that is translated from that gene. Current systems that quantify recoding events have limited sensitivity, and can only be used in cell extracts or tissue culture. A novel method for detecting a recoding event is described that uses the sensitivity and specificity of CD8+ T-cells for measuring recoding, both in vivo and in vitro. This enhanced sensitivity allows for the identification of compounds that are used to regulate recoding, and therefore protein translation.

Abstract: A method of inducing expression of immune active cytokines in tumors in situ is provided wherein a vaccinia virus vector capable of inducing expression of a selected cytokine is generated and injected into a tumor so that cells of the tumor express the selected cytokine. A method of enhancing immunity in a host by administration of a vaccinia virus vector is also provided. Methods of treating cancer by administration of these vaccinia virus vectors are also provided.
