a novel herpes simplex virus gene (ul49a) encodes a putative membrane protein with counterparts in other herpesviruses.comparative analysis of dna sequences located between the coding regions of genes ul49 and ul50 of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (hsv-1 and -2) has revealed a small open reading frame (orf) of 91 and 87 codons respectively with the characteristics of a genuine protein-coding region. the predicted protein products are clearly related and exhibit features of membrane-inserted proteins, with potential n-proximal signal peptides and c-proximal membrane anchor regions. counterparts are present i ...19921322965
glycoprotein 60 of equine herpesvirus type 1 is a homologue of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein d and plays a major role in penetration of cells.monoclonal antibodies (mabs) specific for equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) glycoprotein 60 (gp60) and gp 17/18 (f3132 and 5h6 respectively) were found to react with the same protein, which was identified as a homologue of herpes simplex virus type 1 gd. mab f3132 strongly neutralized virus infectivity and inhibited the penetration of the virus into the cell. the effects on penetration were shared with three other mabs against this protein (p68, f3116 and f3129), but no effect on virus penetrati ...19921321875
natural killer cells in normal horses and specific-pathogen-free foals infected with equine herpesvirus.peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) from an adult horse and from foals demonstrated natural killer (nk)-type cytotoxicity against a range of xenogeneic and allogeneic cell targets. the human tumour cell line, chang liver was consistently the most susceptible. chang liver, rabbit kidney (rk-13), equine sarcoid (es) and embryonic equine kidney (eek) cells were more susceptible when presented to horse pbmc than monolayer cultures. embryonic equine lung (eel) and murine yac-1 cells conversely, ...19921321530
the molecular epidemiology of equine herpesvirus 1 (equine abortion virus) in australasia 1975 to 1989.the restriction endonuclease dna fingerprints of 57 isolates of equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv1; equine abortion virus) from abortion, perinatal foal mortalities and encephalitis from 15 epidemics that occurred in australasia between 1975 and 1989 were examined using the enzymes bam hi, ecori and bgl ii. there was a remarkable degree of uniformity in the restriction patterns; mobility differences were observed in only 14 of 52 (27%) of the fragments. twelve of these 14 fragments were located within t ...19921320856
epizootiological aspects of type 1 and type 4 equine herpesvirus infections among horse populations.the dissemination of equine herpesvirus types 1 (ehv-1) and 4 (ehv-4) among various horse populations in japan was investigated through the isolation and typing of virus strains from horses with respiratory diseases. type specific monoclonal antibody pools were used for the typing of isolates. the 42 strains of ehv-1 and 64 strains of ehv-4 were isolated from 4593 nasal swabs and/or blood plasma samples collected from 3326 horses during a period from 1979 to 1990. all the strains of ehv-1 were i ...19921318750
cloning and restriction endonuclease mapping of the genome of an equine herpesvirus 4 (equine rhinopneumonitis virus), strain 405/76.purified virion dna of an australian isolate of equine herpesvirus 4(ehv 4.405/76) was digested with restriction enzymes and the dna fragments were cloned into puc19. the resulting recombinant plasmid library, representing 92% of the virus genome, was used in hybridization analyses to construct restriction maps for bamhi, ecori, and sali for the ehv4 genome. the results show that the genome of ehv 4.405/76 was approximately 145 kb and comprised a unique long (ul) region of 112 kb and a unique sh ...19921318713
the pathogenicity of ab4p, the sequenced strain of equine herpesvirus-1, in specific pathogen-free foals.the sequencing of the genome of equine herpesvirus-1 (ehv-1) is reported in elizabeth a. r. telford, moira s. watson, kathryn mcbride, and andrew j. davison, 1992, virology, 189, 304-316. the sequence was derived using a plaque-purified clone of ehv-1 strain ab4 (designated ab4p). to ensure that ab4p shares the pathogenic characteristics of parental ab4 (hereafter ab4), both were inoculated intranasally into foals, specifically free from ehv-1 and ehv-4. clinical signs, including rectal temperat ...19921318607
the dna sequence of equine herpesvirus-1.the complete dna sequence was determined of a pathogenic british isolate of equine herpesvirus-1, a respiratory virus which can cause abortion and neurological disease. the genome is 150,223 bp in size, has a base composition of 56.7% g + c, and contains 80 open reading frames likely to encode protein. since four open reading frames are duplicated in the major inverted repeat, two are probably expressed as a spliced mrna, and one may contain an internal transcriptional promoter, the genome is co ...19921318606
identification of the equine herpesvirus type 1 glycoprotein 17/18 as a homologue of herpes simplex virus glycoprotein d.the dna sequence of the equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) gd gene homologue has been determined for the strain ab1 and compared with previously published sequences. a portion of the gene has been located to a region of the genome which also encodes homologues of the herpes simplex virus type 1 genes for ge and gi and is known to encode an epitope of the virion protein gp17/18. analysis of the ehv-1 strain kentucky a (kya) by dna hybridization showed the presence of a gd gene homologue and establ ...19921316942
identification and characterization of an equine herpesvirus 1 late gene encoding a potential zinc finger.in this report, we present the dna sequence and transcriptional characterization of a gene (ir5) that maps within each of the inverted repeat (ir) segments of the equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) genome. the ir5 open reading frame (orf) is located within both ir sequences (nucleotides 9932-10,642 of the ir). dna sequence analyses of the ir5 gene region revealed an orf of 236 amino acids (24,793 da) that showed significant homology to orf64 of varicella-zoster virus and orf3 of ehv-4 both of whi ...19921316680
open reading frames encoding a protein kinase, homolog of glycoprotein gx of pseudorabies virus, and a novel glycoprotein map within the unique short segment of equine herpesvirus type 1.dna sequence analysis of the unique short (us) segment of the genome of equine herpesvirus type 1 kentucky a strain (ehv-1) by our laboratory and strains kentucky d and ab1 by other workers identifies a total of nine open reading frames (orf). in this report, we present the dna sequence of three of these newly identified orfs, designated eus 2, eus 3, and eus 4. the eus 2 orf is 1146 nucleotides (nt) in length and encodes a potential protein of 382 amino acids. cis-regulatory sequences upstream ...19921316673
characterization of the glycoprotein d gene products of equine herpesvirus 1 using a prokaryotic cell expression vector.the gene encoding equine herpesvirus 1 (equine abortion virus; ehv-1) glycoprotein d was engineered into the prokaryotic vector pex, and expressed as a beta-galactosidase fusion product, which was recognized by pooled equine sera and anti-ehv-1 rabbit sera. antibodies raised against the ehv-1 gd fusion product identified strong bands in infected cells at 66 and 68 k and at 138 k in purified virus, thus characterizing the several forms of this major envelope glycoprotein which is an important can ...19921316667

pathological findings in horses dying during an outbreak of the paralytic form of equid herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) infection.in 1988 an outbreak of the paralytic form of equid herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) infection occurred on a stud farm and several animals died. this provided an opportunity to perform detailed pathological investigations to gain insights into the pathogenesis of this spontaneous disease. two paretic mares, three foals, an aborted foetus and its non-paretic dam were examined. the endotheliotropism of the virus was clearly demonstrated by the use of an indirect immunoperoxidase (ip) stain. at autopsy, e ...19921313358
an immunoperoxidase method applied to the diagnosis of equine herpesvirus abortion, using conventional and rapid microwave techniques.an indirect immunoperoxidase (imp) technique was applied to cryostat and paraffin sections of liver from ten aborted equine foetuses. equid herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) had been isolated from seven of them and ehv-4 from one: the remaining two were virologically negative and were not used as controls. in the eight virus-infected cases the immunostaining revealed foci of cells exhibiting a distinct brown cytoplasmic and inclusion body pigmentation. no specific signal was present in the non-infected ...19921313357
characterization of enveloped tegument structures (l particles) produced by alphaherpesviruses: integrity of the tegument does not depend on the presence of capsid or envelope.recent studies have shown that infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) strain 17 generates in addition to virions a novel type of non-infectious particle. these particles, termed l particles, lack capsids and viral dna, and consist predominantly of tegument and envelope proteins. we show that l particle production is not restricted to one strain of hsv-1, and that pseudorabies virus and equine herpesvirus type 1 also release particles which are similar in composition to and morphologi ...19921311356
rapid identification and differentiation of the vaccine strain rac h from ehv 1 field isolates using a non-radioactive dna probe.a method for rapid differentiation between the ehv 1 live vaccine strain rac h and field isolates is described. total dna was isolated from virus-infected small scale cell cultures. dna fragments digested with restriction endonuclease bamhi were separated, transferred and immobilized on filter membranes. a digoxigenin-labeled probe derived from ehv 1 was used for hybridization. this probe hybridized specifically to sequences of the inverted terminal repeat region which in case of rac h include a ...19921311132
characterization of the regulatory functions of the equine herpesvirus 1 immediate-early gene product.use of the translation-inhibiting drug cycloheximide has indicated that the equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1) immediate-early (ie) gene, the sole ehv-1 ie gene, encodes a major viral regulatory protein since ie mrna translation is a prerequisite for all further viral gene expression (w.l. gray, r. p. baumann, a. t. robertson, g. b. caughman, d. j. o'callaghan, and j. staczek, virology 158:79-87, 1987). an ehv-1 ie gene expression vector (psvie) in combination with chimeric ehv-1 promoter-chlorampheni ...19921309921
immune responses of specific pathogen free foals to ehv-1 infection.four foals were raised under specific pathogen free (spf) conditions. at 3 to 4 months of age, spf foals and 1 other non-spf foal were intranasally inoculated with equine herpes virus type 1 (ehv-1). clinical signs included depression, fever, inappetence and intermittent coughing. clinical recovery was complete by seven days but high titres of virus were detected in nasal mucus for at least 10 days after inoculation. clinical illness was less severe in the non-spf foal. interferon was detected i ...19921280876

replication of equine herpesvirus type 1 and type 3: resistance to hydroxyurea and thymidine.the replication of equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) and type 3 (ehv-3) was unimpeded in three different cell types-equine epithelial cells, equine fibroblasts, and mouse fibroblasts-which had been blocked in their capacity to synthesize host dna by 2.5 mm hydroxyurea (hu) or 2 mm thymidine (tdr). the rate of dna synthesis in uninfected or equine herpesvirus-infected cells in the presence of hu or tdr was measured by pulse-labeling cell samples with a labeled dna precursor at different times aft ...1978563855
the virus neutralizing activity of antibodies specific to the envelope and nucleocapsid of equine herpesvirus type 1.antibodies specific to the envelope or nucleocapsid of the kentucky-d strain of equine herpesvirus type 1 were isolated from convalescent horse serum by immunoadsorption on cyanogen bromide-activated sepharose conjugated with equine herpesvirus type 1 envelopes or nucleocapsids, with subsequent elution by glycine buffer. in double immunodiffusion and immunolectrophoresis reactions, the eluted proteins appeared to belong to the igg fraction of horse serum. antibodies directed against the viral en ...1979497891
purification and biochemical characterization of deoxythymidine kinase of deoxythymidine kinase-deficient mouse 3t3 cells biochemically transformed by equine herpesvirus type 1.a line of mouse 3t3 cells lacking deoxythymidine kinase (dtk-) was stably transformed to see dtk+ phenotype after exposure to ultraviolet-irradiated equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1). deoxythymidine kinase (dtk) was purified from the biochemically transformed mouse cells by affinity chromatography on deoxythymidine-sepharose. the purified dtk from ehv-1-transformed 3t3 cells was identical to the dtk purified from dtk- 3t3 cells lytically infected with ehv-1 with respect to its electrophoretic mo ...1979489123
herpesvirus-induced availability of host dna to exogenous endonuclease.deoxyribonuclease i penetrates herpesvirus-infected l cells and degrades host dna without interfering with viral multiplication. the dna of uninfected control monolayers of l cells, disrupted by scraping, is similarly attacked. in contrast, undisturbed l cells are not affected. this suggests that altered cell membrane permeability allows the nuclease to enter the cell, thereby permitting access of exogenous deoxyribonuclease to cellular dna.1975241244
an outbreak of foal perinatal mortality due to equid herpesvirus type 1: pathological observations.twenty-nine cases of ehv1 infection occurred on a property, mainly in full term foals. some foals were stillborn, some were born alive but weak and soon died and others were healthy at birth, became ill and died within 3 days of birth. apart from voluminous, oedematous and atelectic lungs there were no gross lesions. microscopically the lungs showed oedema, pneumonitis and bronchiolitis with intranuclear inclusions and, in many of the foals that survived over 6 hours, there was also hyaline memb ...1979232044

infectious causes of equine respiratory disease on ontario standardbred racetracks.upper respiratory disease has been a serious problem in standardbred horses on racetracks in ontario, with outbreaks occurring once or twice annually in late winter and early spring seasons. to determine the causes of these epidemics, a 3-year investigation was carried out in which nasal swabs and serum samples were obtained at intervals from apparently healthy horses and from horses suffering from upper respiratory disease. the nasal swabs were used to isolate bacteria and viruses. the serum sa ...1977192757

in vitro cytotoxicity of serum and peripheral blood leukocytes for equine herpesvirus type 1-infected target cells.the immune response in horses following experimental infection with equine herpesvirus type 1 (ehv-1) was assessed by measuring cytotoxicity for ehv-1-infected target cells. a technique was developed, using [125i]5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine ([125i]iudr)-labeled equine fetal kidney cells infected with ehv-1 as the target cells. it was shown that peripheral blood leukocytes from a recovered horse were capable of lysing target cells, as measured by the loss of radio-active label. following the experimen ...1977189645

equine herpesviruses. 6. sequential infection of horses with types 2, 3 and 1.the immunological and virological status of 3 foals in respect of equine herpesviruses (ehv) was established and the foals were sequentially infected with ehv2, ehv3 and ehv1. following experimental infection with ehv2, no clinical signs of disease were observed in any foal. the inoculation of ehv3 into the genital tract resulted in lesions of the mucous membrane and perineal skin that were considered typical of equine coital exanthema. following intransal inoculation of ehv3 extensive ulceratio ...1976183644

serological study of an outbreak of paresis due to equid herpesvirus 1 (ehv-1).six cases of paresis occurred in a swedish stud with 48 mares and a stallion. complement-fixation tests revealed a recent infection with ehv-1 in most horses of the stud. serumneutralisation tests showed rapid antibody-titre increases during the course of the disease. this type of antibody response was interpreted as induced by reinfection or, possibly, recurrent infection. two diseased mares were sacrificed. no virus could be isolated from their central nervous system (cns), liver or spleen, bu ...1976181891
disseminated necrotizing myeloencephalitis: a herpes-associated neurological disease of horses.equine viral rhinopneumonitis type i virus was isolated from spinal cord and brain of a paraparetic horse with disseminated necrotizing myeloencephalitis. necrotic arteriolitis,nonsuppurative necrotizing myeloencephalitis and gasserian ganglioneuritis were present. on record were 12 more cases of horses with similar lesions. the horses had been ataxic or paretic for up to several weeks. a field survey indicated that 14 of 24 horses with acute myelitic signs developed them after recent exposure t ...1976180652
meningoencephalomyelitis in horses associated with equine herpesvirus 1 infection.during an outbreak of abortion caused by equine herpesvirus 1, a neurologic disease characterized clinically by dullness and ataxia occurred in several mares. equine herpesvirus 1 was isolated from brain and lung of two severely affected mares. histologically, both mares had disseminated meningoencephalomyelitis characterized by necrotizing arteritis, focal malacia in grey and white matter of brain and spinal cord, and accumulation of lymphocytes and neutrophils in paravertebral ganglia. eosinop ...1976180650
immunity to equine herpesvirus type 1 (rhinopneumonitis): in vitro lymphocyte response.twenty-two ponies were examined for serum-neutralizing (sn) antibody to equine herpesvirus type 1 and for in vitro lymphocyte transformation in the presence of viral antigen. six ponies had undetectable levels of neutralizing antibody (titer less than 1:2) and had lymphocytes which did not respond in culture with viral antigen (stimulation index less than 2.0). four ponies which had sn antibody to equine herpesvirus type 1 did not manifest lymphocyte transformation in vitro. the 12 remaining ser ...1976179451
