Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Containing Feline Herpes Virus Type 1 Genome and Uses Thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to recombinant feline herpes virus type 1 (FHV-1) nucleic acids and proteins. In particular the present invention provides compositions comprising the full length FHV-1 genome or portions thereof, and infectious FHV-1 virions produced therefrom. The FHV-1 compositions are suitable for use in inducing an immune response in inoculated subjects and for use in identifying agents that attenuate FHV-1 infection.
