Cowpox; vaccina. See Cowpox.
The cowpox virus used to vaccinate against smallpox and, experimentally, as a carrier of genes for antigenic determinants cloned from other disease organisms.
The cowpox virus which is used to vaccinate against smallpox. cutaneous or systemic reaction to vaccination with the smallpox vaccine as, for example, in congenital vaccinia and progressive vaccinia.
A cowpox virus, formerly used in human smallpox vaccines and now as a vector in some experimental HIV vaccines.
a local infection induced in humans by innoculation with the virus causing cowpox in order to confer resistance to smallpox; normally lasts three weeks and leaves a pitted scar
a viral disease of cattle causing a mild skin disease affecting the udder; formerly used to inoculate humans against smallpox
The poxvirus that causes cowpox and is used for vaccination against smallpox. It is used as a vector in HIV vaccine research to transport HIV genes into the body.
a cowpox virus, formerly used in human smallpox vaccines. Employed as a vector in HIV vaccines to transport HIV genes into the body.
a virus used as a vaccine against smallpox. Vaccinia is used as a live virus vector is some candidate anti-HIV vaccines.
An infection, primarily local and limited to the site of inoculation, induced in man by inoculation with the vaccinia (coxpox) virus in order to confer resistance to smallpox (variola). On about the third day after vaccination, papules form at the site of inoculation which become transformed into umbilicated vesicles and later pustules; they then dry up, and the scab falls off on about the 21st day, leaving a pitted scar; in some cases there are more or less marked constitutional disturbances.
A viral disease of cattle commonly known as cowpox. When transmitted to man, usually by vaccination, it confers immunity to smallpox. Introduction of vaccinia virus for the purpose of immunization against smallpox results in a local reaction of a single lesion at the sight of the injection.
Vaccinia virus (VACV or VV) is a large, complex enveloped virus belonging to the poxvirus family of viruses. It has a linear double-stranded DNA genome, which is approximately 190 kbp in length and encodes for approximately 250 genes. The dimensions of the virion are roughly 360 × 270 × 250 nm.
