Title:
VIRAL MARKER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004011677
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to herpesviruses genetic markers, and provides methods and materials for assessing the virulence of herpesviruses comprising the use of genetic markers (e.g. within the herpesvirus DNA polymerase (ORF30 in Equine herpesvirus type 1). In another aspect the invention provides vaccines based on the manipulation of the markers disclosed.
