A conditional-lethal vaccinia virus mutant demonstrates that the I7L gene product is required for virion morphogenesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A conditional-lethal recombinant virus was constructed in which the expression of the vaccinia virus I7L gene is under the control of the tetracycline operator/repressor system. In the absence of I7L expression, processing of the major VV core proteins is inhibit...
