Scientists produce DNA virus vaccine to fight DNA viruses: A new method employs weakened viruses as a vaccine to prevent diseases caused by DNA viruses
Rutgers scientists have developed a new approach to stopping viral infections: a so-called live-attenuated, replication-defective DNA virus vaccine that uses a compound known as centanamycin to generate an altered virus for vaccine development. The method was tested to produce a weakened or “attenuated” version of a mouse cytomegalovirus, a common virus, that has been altered so it can’t reproduce or […]
