Resistance and susceptibility of bovine cells expressing herpesviral glycoprotein D homologs to herpesviral infections.
Bovine cell lines individually expressing two related herpesviral proteins, pseudorabies virus glycoprotein 50 and herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein D, were examined for their susceptibility/resistance to infection with several alphaherpesviruses. Cell lines expressing gp50 or gD-1 resisted plaque formation by the homologous virus more than by the heterologous viruses. Bovine cells expressing bovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein IV (gIV) were susceptible to infection with three other bovine herpesviruses: bovine herpesvirus 2, bovine herpesvirus 4 (BHV-4) and alcelaphine herpesvirus 1. One line of gIV-expressing cells was resistant to the formation of BHV-4 plaques, suggesting that a cell-associated factor may be responsible for inhibiting cell-to-cell spread.
