One of my friends needs help for her essay about
    risks in transfering genes with the help of viruses
She would be glad if someone could answer the following questions:
 
1.) Since when and how long has the so called "polio - vaccination" with
    modified (not killed) viruses been used in the Federal Republic of Germany
    (With the viruses not cultivated after the Jenner method / no cowpox) ?
 
2.) Would you please give me information about the
    "ADENO SV40 hybrid virus".
 
3.) What kind of organisms or protozoa are hosts for the SV40 virus ?
 
4.) For what kind of animals (mammals?) has a oncogene effect of the SV40 virus
    been proved ?
 
Thanxs for helping her.
 
Please write answer to this newsgroup or as pm to this address.
