ABSTRACT Human astrovirus is an important cause of acute gastroenteritis. We have generated, for the first time, a vaccinia virus recombinant expressing the astrovirus 87-kDa structural polyprotein. The results demonstrate that this expression results in the formation of virus-like particles in the absence of other astrovirus proteins and genomic RNA. The purified trypsin-activated virus-like particles strongly resemble the complete astrovirus particles.

A double recombinant vaccinia virus VV-GMCSF-Lact, producing human GM-CSF and oncotoxic protein lactaptin, was constructed. Preclinical studies of VV-GMCSF-Lact as an antitumor drug for human solid tumors therapy were successfully completed. The drug is recommended for clinical trials.
