Synthesis and Processing of the Bovine Enteric Coronavirus Haemagglutinin Protein

Synthesis and processing of the haemagglutinin-esterase glycoprotein of bovine coronavirus encoded in the E3 region of adenovirus.

The haemagglutinin-esterase gene (HE) of bovine coronavirus (BCV) encodes a major viral membrane glycoprotein that elicits BCV-neutralizing antibodies. The BCV HE gene was cloned into a human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) transfer vector in place of early transcription region 3, and a helper-independent recombinant virus was constructed by rescue of the transcription unit by homologous in vivo re...

Coronavirus in Gnotobiotic Calves Coronavirus and a Virulent Bovine Enteric Cross-Protection against a Human Enteric

Cross-protection against a human enteric coronavirus and a virulent bovine enteric coronavirus in gnotobiotic calves.

A group 2 human coronavirus designated HECV-4408 was isolated from a child with acute diarrhea and is antigenically and genetically more closely related to bovine coronavirus (BCoV) than to human coronavirus OC43 (X. M. Zhang, W. Herbst, K. G. Kousoulas, and J. Storz, J. Med. Virol. 44:152-161, 1994). To determine whether HECV-4408 infects gnotobiotic calves and induces cross-protective immunit...

Sequence analysis of the turkey enteric coronavirus nucleocapsid and membrane protein genes: a close genomic relationship with bovine coronavirus.

The 3' end of the turkey coronavirus (TCV) genome and the gene encoding the nucleocapsid protein (N) were cloned and sequenced. The gene encoding the membrane protein (M) was obtained by cloning a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified fragment obtained using bovine coronavirus (BCV)-specific primers. Furthermore, five TCV DNA fragments, obtained by PCR on RNA from clinical specimens and cor...
