Disease relevance of Vaccinia Virus

The cowpox virus (CPV) CrmA and the equivalent rabbitpox virus (RPV) SPI-2 proteins have anti-inflammatory and antiapoptosis activity by virtue of their ability to inhibit caspases, including the interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE; caspase-1) [1].
However, swinepox virus and vaccinia virus (strain WR) do not express this activity Using a recombinant poxviruses, the myxoma M-T1 and rabbitpox virus 35kDa secreted proteins were identified as prototypic members of this family of chemokine binding proteins [2].

High impact information on Vaccinia Virus

Rabbitpox virus (RPV) mutants with deletions of the SPI-1 gene grow on monkey kidney cells (CV-1) but do not plaque on normally permissive human lung carcinoma cells (A549) [3].
SPI-1-dependent host range of rabbitpox virus and complex formation with cathepsin G is associated with serpin motifs [4].
Activation of caspases in pig kidney cells infected with wild-type and CrmA/SPI-2 mutants of cowpox and rabbitpox viruses [1].
The ps/hr gene (B5R open reading frame homolog) of rabbitpox virus controls pock color, is a component of extracellular enveloped virus, and is secreted into the medium [5].
We examined this mRNA decrease by infecting A549 cells, derived from a human lung carcinoma, with rabbitpox virus (RPV), or RPV deleted for the serine protease inhibitor SPI-1 (RPVDeltaSPI-1), which exhibits a growth defect on A549 cells [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Vaccinia Virus

Effect of isoleucine deprivation of rabbitpox virus DNA synthesis in mouse L cells [7].
Plaque development by vaccinia-viruses on the chicken chorio-allantois under the influence of cyclophosphamide [8].

Gene context of Vaccinia Virus

Attenuation of B5R mutants of rabbitpox virus in vivo is related to impaired growth and not an enhanced host inflammatory response [9].
A new approach is reported that includes multiple-peptide synthesis and CD spectroscopy of overlapping peptides to evaluate the secondary structure of the vaccinia-virus thymidine kinase (TK) [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Vaccinia Virus

Microarray analysis of A549 cells infected with rabbitpox virus (RPV): a comparison of wild-type RPV and RPV deleted for the host range gene, SPI-1 [6].
Evaluation of the secondary structure of vaccinia-virus thymidine kinase by circular-dichroism spectroscopy of overlapping synthetic peptides [10].
