    products include transcription
    specificity factors for late gene
    expression.

globulin (VIG) can be used to control monkeypox virus outbreak
* JYNEOS vaccine used in the USA to control the smallpox virus
* Smallpox virus vaccine can protect against monkey poxvirus:
antigenic relationships (85% effective)
* MPXV vaccine is effective when administered before exposure
to the virus
* MPXV vaccine: can be given four days from the date of
exposure to prevent the onset of the diseases (not usual for other viruses; can not always do vaccination for viruses).
* MPXV vaccine: if given between 4-14 days of exposure: it
reduce the symptoms of the disease but may not prevent the
diseases
