This volume provides readers with methods and protocols for understanding the development of
recombinant viruses and their use as vaccines platforms. Recombinant Virus Vaccines: Methods
and Protocols details the use of recombinant vaccines that are employed to either produce
immunogens in vitro or elicit antibody production in vivo. The chapters in this book are
divided into four parts: Part I explores double-stranded DNA viruses Part II discusses
negative sense single-stranded RNA viruses Part III talks about positive sense single-stranded
RNA viruses and Part IV describes bacteriophages. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series format chapters include introductions to their respective topics
lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory
protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Thorough and cutting-edge
Recombinant Virus Vaccines: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for scientists and
clinicians who are interested in learning about and adopting methods for use in basic and
biomedical research directed toward generating and developing recombinant viral vaccines.
