Neurovirulence of glycoprotein C(gC)-deleted bovine herpesvirus type-5 (BHV-5) and BHV-5 expressing BHV-1 gC in a rabbit seizure model.
Herpesvirus glycoprotein C (gC) is one of the major virus attachment proteins. Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) causes respiratory and genital diseases in cattle, whereas BHV-5 causes acute meningoencephalitis in calves. The gC gene sequence of these two viruses are substantially different. To determine the contribution of the BHV-5 glycoprotein gC (gC5) to the neuropathogenesis of BHV-5, we h...
متن کاملDetection of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) genomic sequences in bovine semen inoculated with BHV-1 by polymerase chain reaction.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was applied to detect BHV-1 in bovine semen inoculated with BHV-1. The technique was found to be 10(6) times more sensitive than a non-isotopic dot-blot hybridization method in detecting viral genomic DNA. Of the three primer pairs used, the one chosen from glycoprotein gC appeared to be most sensitive as it could detect up to 0.01 TCID50 of BHV-1 in th...
متن کاملEvaluation of baculovirus-expressed bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) glycoproteins for detection and analysis of BHV-1-specific antibody responses.
Baculovirus (Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis)-expressed bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) glycoproteins B (gB), gC, and gD were developed and characterized. The recombinant proteins retained their antigenic properties as determined by immunoblotting against monoclonal antibodies. The proteins were examined as antigens for detection of BHV-1 infection and for the analysis of antibody resp...
متن کاملIn Vitro Characterization of Ge Negative Bovine Herpesvirus Types 1.1 (bhv-1.1) and 1.2a (bhv-1.2a)
This study aimed the in vitro growth characterization of a previously constructed Brazilian bovine herpesvirus 1.2a with a deletion in the glycoprotein E gene (BHV-1.2a gE). The plaque sizes, penetration and growth kinetics of the Brazilian BHV-1.2a gE were studied and compared with the parental virus, as well as with a BHV-1.1 gE recombinant derived from an European BHV-1.1 strain. No statisti...
متن کاملBovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV-5) Us9 is essential for BHV-5 neuropathogenesis.
Bovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV-5) is a neurovirulent alphaherpesvirus that causes fatal encephalitis in calves. In a rabbit model, the virus invades the central nervous system (CNS) anterogradely from the olfactory mucosa following intranasal infection. In addition to glycoproteins E and I (gE and gI, respectively), Us9 and its homologue in alphaherpesviruses are necessary for the viral anterograde ...
