Abstract

The aim of this project is to lay the groundwork for development of CAV as a human gene therapy vector and as a vaccine vector for domestic animals. Complete sequence analysis of the CAV genome will be undertaken providing invaluable data for the cloning and manipulation of CAV DNA. Deletions will be introduced into the E3, E1 and E2a transcriptional regions of the CAV genome and E1 and E2a complement cell lines produced. Recombinant viruses will be generated using complementing cell lines where appropriate.
