title: A comparison of polypeptides and restriction endonuclease sites of BHV-1 isolates and identification of IPV virus in Japan.
abstract: Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) isolates from respiratory tract and from vagina of bovine in Japan were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the DNA restriction endonuclease cleavage pattern, and compared with European BHV-1 strains. Both protein profile and DNA cleavaged pattern of BHV-1 isolates from respiratory tract were the same as those of European infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus, whereas the protein profile and DNA cleavage patterns of one isolate (M1) from vagina was the same as those of the European infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IPV) virus. The facts indicate that IPV virus has existed in Japan.
