Abstract
With the increased comprehension of the molecular biology of viruses, there has been a recent surge in the application of virus sequences and viral gene expression strategies towards the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The scope of the patenting landscape has widened as a result and the current review discusses patents pertaining to live / attenuated viral vaccines. The vaccines addressed here have been developed by both conventional means as well as by the state-of-the-art genetic engineering techniques. This review also addresses the applications of these patents for clinical and biotechnological purposes.
