Glycoprotein D of Bovine Herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) Confers an Extended Host Range to BoHV-1 but Does Not Contribute to Invasion of the Brain
11 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) and BoHV-5 are closely related pathogens of cattle, but only BoHV-5 is considered a neuropathogen. We engineered intertypic gD exchange mutants with BoHV-1 and BoHV-5 backbones in order to address their in vitro and in vivo host ranges, with particular interest in invasion of the brain. The new viruses replicated in cell culture with similar dynamics and to titers comparable to those...
