Abstract excerpt
The virulence, pathogenicity and immunogenicity of two pseudorabies virus (PRV) variants were investigated in 3-week-old pigs that had been intranasally infected. Variant M303 (delta 125,126) lacked amino acids valine (125) and cysteine(126) in an immunodominant antigenic region of glycoprotein I (gI) containing two discontinuous antigenic domains, whereas M304 (delta 59,60) lacked amino acids glycine(59) and...
