  • Title: Characterization of pseudorabies virus glycoprotein B expressed by canine herpesvirus.
    Author: Nishikawa Y, Xuan X, Kimura M, Otsuka H.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 1999 Oct; 61(10):1113-7. PubMed ID: 10563288.
    Abstract:
    A recombinant canine herpesvirus (CHV) which expressed glycoprotein B (gB) of pseudorabies virus (PrV) was constructed. The antigenicity of the PrV gB expressed by the recombinant CHV is similar to that of the native PrV. The expressed PrV gB was shown to be transported to the surface of infected cells as judged by an indirected immunofluorescence test. Antibodies raised in mice immunized with the recombinant CHV neutralized the infectivity of PrV in vitro. It is known that the authentic PrV gB exists as a glycoprotein complex, which consists of gBa, gBb and gBc. In MDCK cells, PrV gB expressed by the recombinant CHV was processed like authentic PrV gB, suggesting that the cleavage mechanism of PrV gB depends on a functional cleavage domain from PrV gB gene and protease from infected cells.
