Marek's disease herpesvirus DNA segments encoding glycoproteins, gD, gI, and gE

摘要

DNA encoding glycoproteins gD, gI and part of gE from Marek's disease herpesvirus is described. The DNA is useful for probes to detect the DNA in the herpesvirus, for expression to produce the glycoproteins can be used for producing the antibodies which specifically recognize the three glycoprotein antigens, and in the case of the latter two genes, for potential insertion sites for foreign genes. Novel glycoproteins and regulatory sequences are also disclosed.
