Improving the MVA vaccine potential by deleting the viral gene coding for the IL-18 binding protein.
BACKGROUND: Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) is an attenuated strain of Vaccinia virus (VACV) currently employed in many clinical trials against HIV/AIDS and other diseases. MVA still retains genes involved in host immune response evasion, enabling its optimization by removing some of them. The aim of...
