Abstract excerpt
Bovine herpes virus 1 (BHV-1) establishes latency in sensory neurons of trigeminal ganglia (TG), and germinal centers of pharyngeal tonsil. Periodically BHV-1 reactivates from latency, virus is shed, and consequently virus transmission occurs. Two transcripts, the latency related (LR) RNA and ORF-E, are abundantly expressed in TG of latently infected cattle. A LR mutant strain of BHV-1 was constructed that...
