Equine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein D: mapping of the transcript and a neutralization epitope.
Studies with molecular and immunological techniques identified and mapped the transcript encoding glycoprotein D (gD) of equine herpesvirus 1 KyA, as well as two continuous gD antigenic determinants. Three mRNA species of 5.5, 3.8, and 1.7 kb overlap the gD open reading frame and are transcribed from the DNA strand encoding gD. Northern (RNA) blot hybridization with both DNA clones and riboprob...
متن کاملEquine major histocompatibility complex class I molecules act as entry receptors that bind to equine herpesvirus-1 glycoprotein D
The endotheliotropism of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) leads to encephalomyelitis secondary to vasculitis and thrombosis in the infected horse central nervous system (CNS). To identify the host factors involved in EHV-1 infection of CNS endothelial cells, we performed functional cloning using an equine brain microvascular endothelial cell cDNA library. Exogenous expression of equine major histoc...
متن کاملGlycoprotein L sets the neutralization profile of murid herpesvirus 4
Antibodies readily neutralize acute, epidemic viruses, but are less effective against more indolent pathogens such as herpesviruses. Murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4) provides an accessible model for tracking the fate of antibody-exposed gammaherpesvirus virions. Glycoprotein L (gL) plays a central role in MuHV-4 entry: it allows gH to bind heparan sulfate and regulates fusion-associated conformatio...
متن کاملThe equine herpesvirus 1 UL20 product interacts with glycoprotein K and promotes egress of mature particles.
The aim of the present study was to identify and functionally characterize the equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) UL20 protein (UL20p). Using a specific antiserum, UL20p was shown to be associated with membranes of infected cells, as well as with envelopes of purified virions. By Western blot analysis, UL20p was detected in two main forms exhibiting M(r)s of 25,000 and 75,000. Both moieties did not e...
