Abstract

We expressed the bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) glycoprotein IV (gIV) in bovine cells. The protein expressed was identical in molecular mass and antigenic reactivity to the native gIV protein but was localized in the cytoplasm. Expressing cells were partially resistant to BHV-1, herpes simplex virus, and pseudorabies virus, as shown by a 10- to 1,000-fold-lower number of plaques forming on these cells than on control cells. The level of resistance depended on the level of gIV expression and the type and amount of challenge virus. These data are consistent with previous reports by others that cellular expression of the BHV-1 gIV homologs, herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D, and pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gp50 provide partial resistance against infection with these viruses. We have extended these findings by showing that once BHV-1 enters gIV-expressing cells, it replicates and spreads normally, as shown by the normal size of BHV-1 plaques and the delayed but vigorous synthesis of viral proteins. Our data are consistent with the binding of BHV-1 gIV to a cellular receptor required for initial penetration by all three herpesviruses and interference with the function of that receptor molecule.
