This reporter gene system has been widely used in transgenic plants, and it has also been successfully used in mammalian cells for VACV recombinant virus selection [54] . Reporter-gene assays have helped the pox virologists in basic research, for example for the study of the location, structure and function of many VACV proteins during the infection cycle and their interaction with proteins of the host cell [44, 70] . The main limitation of using VACV as a vector is the short-term gene expression, since it is a lytic virus killing the infected cells.
