title: Regulation of foreign gene in fowlpox virus by a vaccinia virus promoter.
abstract: A vaccinia virus promoter was evaluated for regulation of a foreign gene in fowlpox virus by a transient expression assay. Fowlpox virus-infected quail cells, transfected with plasmid DNA containing chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene ligated to a vaccinia virus promoter, expressed CAT activity. No CAT activity was detected either in uninfected cells or fowlpox virus-infected cells. These results indicated that a heterologous vaccinia virus promoter can regulate expression of a foreign gene in fowlpox virus.
