Validation of Candidate Host Cell Entry Factors for Bovine Herpes Virus Type-1 Based on a Genome-Wide CRISPR Knockout Screen. Viruses 2024; 16:297. [PMID: 38400072 PMCID: PMC10893506 DOI: 10.3390/v16020297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
To identify host factors that affect Bovine Herpes Virus Type 1 (BoHV-1) infection we previously applied a genome wide CRISPR knockout screen targeting all bovine protein coding genes. By doing so we compiled a list of both pro-viral and anti-viral proteins involved in BoHV-1 replication. Here we provide further analysis of those that are potentially involved in viral entry into the host cell. We first generated single cell knockout clones deficient in some of the candidate genes for validation. We provide evidence that Polio Virus Receptor-related protein (PVRL2) serves as a receptor for BoHV-1, mediating more efficient entry than the previously identified Polio Virus Receptor (PVR). By knocking out two enzymes that catalyze HSPG chain elongation, HST2ST1 and GLCE, we further demonstrate the significance of HSPG in BoHV-1 entry. Another intriguing cluster of candidate genes, COG1, COG2 and COG4-7 encode six subunits of the Conserved Oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex. MDBK cells lacking COG6 produced fewer but bigger plaques compared to control cells, suggesting more efficient release of newly produced virions from these COG6 knockout cells, due to impaired HSPG biosynthesis. We further observed that viruses produced by the COG6 knockout cells consist of protein(s) with reduced N-glycosylation, potentially explaining their lower infectivity. To facilitate candidate validation, we also detailed a one-step multiplex CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system, an orthogonal method to KO that enables quick and simultaneous deployment of three CRISPRs for efficient gene inactivation. Using CRISPR3i, we verified eight candidates that have been implicated in the synthesis of surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). In summary, our experiments confirmed the two receptors PVR and PVRL2 for BoHV-1 entry into the host cell and other factors that affect this process, likely through the direct or indirect roles they play during HSPG synthesis and glycosylation of viral proteins.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the most widely prevalent herpes virus worldwide, and the herpetic encephalitis and genital herpes caused by HSV infection have caused serious harm to human health all over the world. Although many anti-HSV drugs such as nucleoside analogues have been ap-proved for clinical use during the past few decades, important issues, such as drug resistance, toxicity, and high cost of drugs, remain unresolved. Recently, the studies on the anti-HSV activities of marine natural products, such as marine polysaccharides, marine peptides and microbial secondary metabolites are attracting more and more attention all over the world. This review discusses the recent progress in research on the anti-HSV activities of these natural compounds obtained from marine organisms, relating to their structural features and the structure-activity relationships. In addition, the recent findings on the different anti-HSV mechanisms and molecular targets of marine compounds and their potential for therapeutic application will also be summarized in detail.

Abstract
The advances in gene editing bring unprecedented opportunities in high throughput functional genomics to animal research. Here we describe a genome wide CRISPR knockout library, btCRISPRko.v1, targeting all protein coding genes in the cattle genome. Using it, we conducted genome wide screens during Bovine Herpes Virus type 1 (BoHV-1) replication and compiled a list of pro-viral and anti-viral candidates. These candidates might influence multiple aspects of BoHV-1 biology such as viral entry, genome replication and transcription, viral protein trafficking and virion maturation in the cytoplasm. Some of the most intriguing examples are VPS51, VPS52 and VPS53 that code for subunits of two membrane tethering complexes, the endosome-associated recycling protein (EARP) complex and the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex. These complexes mediate endosomal recycling and retrograde trafficking to the trans Golgi Network (TGN). Simultaneous loss of both complexes in MDBKs resulted in greatly reduced production of infectious BoHV-1 virions. We also found that viruses released by these deficient cells severely lack VP8, the most abundant tegument protein of BoHV-1 that are crucial for its virulence. In combination with previous reports, our data suggest vital roles GARP and EARP play during viral protein packaging and capsid re-envelopment in the cytoplasm. It also contributes to evidence that both the TGN and the recycling endosomes are recruited in this process, mediated by these complexes. The btCRISPRko.v1 library generated here has been controlled for quality and shown to be effective in host gene discovery. We hope it will facilitate efforts in the study of other pathogens and various aspects of cell biology in cattle.

Cell entry of Bovine herpesvirus-1 through clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis requires activation of PI3K-Akt-NF-κB and Ras-p38 MAPK pathways as well as the interaction of BoHV-1 gD with cellular receptor nectin-1.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) can infect all breeds of cattle and cause severe respiratory organs and genital tract diseases. However, the mechanism of BoHV-1 entering the cells remains unclear. In this study, we explored the mechanism of BoHV-1 entering MDBK cells. We found that the entry of BoHV-1 was blocked by NH4Cl and bafilomycin A1, indicating that BoHV-1 entry is dependent on the acidic environment of endosome. Specific inhibitor dynasore and small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of dynamin-2 inhibited BoHV-1 entry, showing that dynamin is required in BoHV-1 entry. The results of specific inhibitor, siRNA knockdown and co-localization indicating clathrin- and caveolin- mediated endocytosis play a role in BoHV-1 entry. BoHV-1 infection was not affected by EIPA which is a specific inhibitor of macropinocytosis. In addition, we found that BoHV-1 triggered PI3K-Akt-NF-κB and Ras-p38 MAPK signaling pathways to induce clathrin-mediated and caveolin-mediated endocytosis at the early stage of BoHV-1 infection. BoHV-1 binding was sufficient to activate the endocytic signaling pathways and promote viral entry. These two signaling pathways were activated by transfection of viral gD protein, and were inhibited by deletion of viral gD protein and the siRNA knockdown of cellular receptor nectin-1. The results of co-localization indicating the entered BoHV-1 is traced to late endosomes via early endosomes. Our results suggested the interaction of viral gD protein and cellular receptor nectin-1 triggered the PI3K-Akt-NF-κB and Ras-p38 MAPK signaling pathways and induced clathrin-mediated and caveolin-mediated endocytosis to promote BoHV-1 entry into MDBK cells at the early stage of BoHV-1 infection.

Abstract
The limited time indorsed to face the COVID-19 emergency and large number of deaths across the globe, poses an unrelenting challenge to find apt therapeutic approaches. However, lead candidate selection to phase III trials of new chemical entity is a time-consuming procedure, and not feasible in pandemic, such as the one we are facing. Drug repositioning, an exploration of existing drug for new therapeutic use, could be an effective alternative as it allows fast-track estimation in phase II-III trials, or even forthright compassionate use. Although, drugs repurposed for COVID-19 pandemic are commercially available, yet the evaluation of their safety and efficacy is tiresome and painstaking. In absence of any specific treatment the easy alternatives such as over the counter products, phytotherapies and home remedies have been largely adopted for prophylaxis and therapy as well. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that several pharmaceutical excipients possess antiviral properties making them prospective candidates against SARS-CoV-2. This review highlights the mechanism of action of various antiviral excipients and their propensity to act against SARs-CoV2. Though, repurposing of pharmaceutical excipients against COVID-19 has the edge over therapeutic agents in terms of safety, cost and fast-track approval trial burdened, this hypothesis needs to be experimentally verified for COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Duck enteritis virus (DEV), the causative agent of duck viral enteritis, causes a contagious, lethal viral disease in Anseriformes (waterfowls). In virus infection, host-virus interaction plays a crucial role in virus replication and pathogenesis. In our previous study, mRFP was fused with the C-terminus of DEV glycoprotein C (gC) to construct a fluorescent-tag DEV virus rgCRFP. In the current study, fluorescent fusion protein (gC-mRFP) was used as the proteomic probe. Co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometric analysis of proteins from rgCRFP-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts using commercial anti-RFP antibody led to the identification of a total of 21 gC interacting host proteins. Out of these 21 proteins, the interaction of seven host proteins (GNG2, AR1H1, PPP2CA, UBE2I, MCM5, NUBP1, HN1) with DEV gC protein was validated using membrane-bound split-ubiquitin yeast two-hybrid system (MbYTH) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analyses. It indicated direct interaction between these proteins with DEV gC protein. This study has furthered the current understanding of DEV virus infection and pathogenesis. SIGNIFICANCE: gC is an crucial glycoprotein of duck enteritis virus that plays an important role in the viral life cycle. Uncovering the interaction between virus-host is very important to elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of the virus. In this study, host factors interacting with DEV gC have been discerned. And seven host proteins (GNG2, AR1H1, PPP2CA, UBE2I, MCM5, NUBP1, HN1) have been further validated to interact with DEV gC using MbYTH and BiFC analyses. These outcomes could shed light on how DEV manipulates the cellular machinery, which could further our understanding of DEV pathogenesis.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) uses many mechanisms to elude the immune system; one of them is spreading intracellularly, even in the presence of specific antiviral antibodies. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are necessary to eliminate the virus. The main preventive strategy is vaccination based on inactivated virus. These vaccines are poor inducers of cellular immune responses, and complicate serological diagnosis and determination of the real prevalence of infection. DNA vaccines are a good option because of the capacity of Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals-(DIVA vaccine)-and may be the best way to induce cytotoxic responses. Although this type of vaccines leads to only weak "in vivo" expression and poor immune responses, incorporation of molecular and/or chemical adjuvants can improve the latter, both in magnitude and in direction. In this study, we have investigated the specific immune responses elicited in mice by DNA vaccines based on the BoHV-1 glycoprotein D (pCIgD) with and without two different adjuvants: a plasmid encoding for murine CD40L (pCD40L) or Montanide™ 1113101PR (101). Mice vaccinated with pCIgD+CD40L, pCIgD+101, and pCIgD+CD40L+101 developed significantly higher specific antibody titers against BoHV-1 than the pCIgD group (p < 0.01). The animals vaccinated with pCgD+pCD40L+101 raised significantly higher levels of IgG2a and IgG2b (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively) than mice vaccinated with pCIgD alone. On the contrary, when the activity of CTL against cells infected with BoHV-1 was measured, the vaccine pCgD+pCD40L+101 induced significantly higher levels of cytotoxicity activity (p < 0.001) than pCIgD alone. A significant increase in the CD4+ populations in the group receiving pCIgD+CD40L+101 in comparison with the pCIgD group was observed and, also, interferon gamma, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-17A levels were higher. Considering the results obtained from this study for humoral and cellular responses in mice, the inclusion of pCD40L and 101 as adjuvants in a BoHV-1 DNA vaccine for cattle is highly recommendable.

Abstract
Field isolates of foot-and-mouth disease viruses (FMDVs) utilize integrin-mediated cell entry but many, including Southern African Territories (SAT) viruses, are difficult to adapt to BHK-21 cells, thus hampering large-scale propagation of vaccine antigen. However, FMDVs acquire the ability to bind to cell surface heparan sulphate proteoglycans, following serial cytolytic infections in cell culture, likely by the selection of rapidly replicating FMDV variants. In this study, fourteen SAT1 and SAT2 viruses, serially passaged in BHK-21 cells, were virulent in CHO-K1 cells and displayed enhanced affinity for heparan, as opposed to their low-passage counterparts. Comparative sequence analysis revealed the fixation of positively charged residues clustered close to the icosahedral 5-fold axes of the virus, at amino acid positions 83-85 in the βD-βE loop and 110-112 in the βF-βG loop of VP1 upon adaptation to cultured cells. Molecular docking simulations confirmed enhanced binding of heparan sulphate to a model of the adapted SAT1 virus, with the region around VP1 arginine 112 contributing the most to binding. Using this information, eight chimeric field strain mutant viruses were constructed with additional positive charges in repeated clusters on the virion surface. Five of these bound heparan sulphate with expanded cell tropism, which should facilitate large-scale propagation. However, only positively charged residues at position 110-112 of VP1 enhanced infectivity of BHK-21 cells. The symmetrical arrangement of even a single amino acid residue in the FMD virion is a powerful strategy enabling the virus to generate novel receptor binding and alternative host-cell interactions.

Abstract
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) are responsible for major economic losses of livestock worldwide, making their eradication an important objective of veterinary research. Vaccines against these infectious agents are commercially available but have some limitations due to the specific features of these viral agents. The development of new antiviral drugs is therefore essential. Native banana lectin (BanLec) is a lectin isolated from banana fruit (Musa acuminata) and has a high affinity for mannose glycans found in several viral envelopes. The inhibitory properties of this lectin against several viruses has already been demonstrated. The aim of this work was therefore to test the antiviral and virucidal activities of BanLec against BVDV-1 and BoHV-1. Its antiviral activity was assessed by measuring the viral titer and viability of susceptible Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney cells (MDBK) treated with BanLec before and after viral infection. The virucidal properties of BanLec were determined by preincubation of the lectin with the viruses, followed by measurement of the viral load in exposed cells. Treatment with 25 μg/mL BanLec resulted in high levels of inhibition against BVDV-1 (99.98%) and BoHV-1 (99.68%) without affecting cell viability, demonstrating promising potential as an antiviral agent.

Role of Sphingomyelin in Alphaherpesvirus Entry. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.01547-18. [PMID: 30541840 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01547-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2018] [Accepted: 11/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes disease in cattle populations worldwide. Sphingomyelin (SM) is the most abundant sphingolipid in the mammalian cell membrane, where it preferentially associates with cholesterol to form lipid raft domains. SM is a substrate for the lysosome-resident enzyme acid sphingomyelinase, which plays a role in cell membrane repair following injury. Treatment of cells with noncytotoxic concentrations of Staphylococcus aureus-derived sphingomyelinase successfully reduced cell surface-exposed sphingomyelin but did not significantly inhibit BoHV-1 entry and infection, as measured by the beta-galactosidase reporter assay. Interestingly, entry of the porcine alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV) was inhibited by sphingomyelin-depletion of cells. Treatment of BoHV-1 particles with sphingomyelinase inhibited viral entry activity, suggesting that viral SM plays a role in BoHV-1 entry, while cellular SM does not. Treatment of cells with noncytotoxic concentrations of the functional inhibitors of host acid sphingomyelinase, imipramine and amitriptyline, which induce degradation of the cellular enzyme, did not significantly inhibit BoHV-1 entry. In contrast, inhibition of cellular acid sphingomyelinase inhibited PRV entry. Entry of the human alphaherpesvirus herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) was independent of both host SM and acid sphingomyelinase, in a manner similar to BoHV-1. Together, the results suggest that among the alphaherpesviruses, there is variability in entry requirements for cellular sphingomyelin and acid sphingomyelinase activity.IMPORTANCE Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is an ubiquitous pathogen affecting cattle populations worldwide. Infection can result in complicated, polymicrobial infections due to the immunosuppressive properties of the virus. Available vaccines limit disease severity and spread but do not prevent infection. The financial and animal welfare ramifications of BoHV-1 are significant. In order to develop more effective prevention and treatment regimens, a more complete understanding of the initial steps in viral infection is necessary. We recently identified a low pH endocytosis pathway for BoHV-1. Here, we examine the role of cellular factors responsible for membrane integrity and repair in alphaherpesviral entry. This study allows comparisons of the BoHV-1 entry pathway with those of other alphaherpesviruses (pseudorabies virus [PRV] and herpes simplex virus 1 [HSV-1]). Lastly, this is the first report of sphingomyelin and lysosomal sphingomyelinase playing a role in the entry of a herpesvirus. The results may lead to the development of more effective prevention and treatment regimens.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is an alphaherpesvirus that poses a significant challenge to health and welfare in the cattle industry. We investigated the cellular entry route utilized by BoHV-1. We report that BoHV-1 enters Madin Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, bovine turbinate cells, and African green monkey kidney (Vero) cells via a low-pH-mediated endocytosis pathway. Treatment of MDBK cells with hypertonic medium, which inhibits receptor-mediated endocytosis, prevented infection as measured by a beta-galactosidase reporter assay. Treatment of cells with noncytotoxic concentrations of the lysosomotropic agents ammonium chloride and monensin, which block the acidification of endosomes, inhibited BoHV-1 entry in a concentration-dependent fashion. The kinetics of endocytic uptake of BoHV-1 from the cell surface was rapid (50% uptake by ∼5 min). Time-of-addition experiments indicated that the lysosomotropic agents acted at early times postinfection, consistent with entry. Inactivation of virions by pretreatment with mildly acidic pH is a hallmark characteristic of viruses that utilize a low-pH-activated entry pathway. When BoHV-1 particles were exposed to pH 5.0 in the absence of target membrane, infectivity was markedly reduced. Lastly, treatment of cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 inhibited BoHV-1 entry in a concentration-dependent manner. Together, these results support a model of BoHV-1 infection in which low endosomal pH is a critical host trigger for fusion of the viral envelope with an endocytic membrane and necessary for successful infection of the target cell.IMPORTANCE BoHV-1 is a ubiquitous pathogen affecting cattle populations worldwide. Infection can result in complicated, polymicrobial infections due to the immunosuppressive properties of the virus. While there are vaccines on the market, they only limit disease severity and spread but do not prevent infection. The financial and animal welfare ramifications of this virus are significant, and in order to develop more effective prevention and treatment regimens, a more complete understanding of the initial steps in viral infection is necessary. This research establishes the initial entry pathway of BoHV-1, which provides a foundation for future development of effective treatments and preventative vaccines. Additionally, it allows comparisons to the entry pathways of other alphaherpesviruses, such as HSV-1.

Abstract
The entry process of viruses into host cells is complex and involves stable but transient multivalent interactions with different cell surface receptors. The initial contact of several viruses begins with attachment to heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans on the cell surface, which results in a cascade of events that end up with virus entry. The development of antiviral agents based on multivalent interactions to shield virus particles and block initial interactions with cellular receptors has attracted attention in antiviral research. Here, we designed nanogels with different degrees of flexibility based on dendritic polyglycerol sulfate to mimic cellular HS. The designed nanogels are nontoxic and broad-spectrum, can multivalently interact with viral glycoproteins, shield virus surfaces, and efficiently block infection. We also visualized virus-nanogel interactions as well as the uptake of nanogels by the cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis using confocal microscopy. As many human viruses attach to the cells through HS moieties, we introduce our flexible nanogels as robust inhibitors for these viruses.

Abstract
The entry process of herpesviruses into host cells is complex and highly variable. It involves a sequence of well-orchestrated events that begin with virus attachment to glycan-containing proteinaceous structures on the cell surface. This initial contact tethers virus particles to the cell surface and results in a cascade of molecular interactions, including the tight interaction of viral envelope glycoproteins to specific cell receptors. These interactions trigger intracellular signaling and finally virus penetration after fusion of the viral envelope with cellular membranes. Based on the engaged cellular receptors and co-receptors, and the subsequent signaling cascades, the entry pathway will be decided on the spot. A number of viral glycoproteins and many cellular receptors and molecules have been identified as players in one or several of these events during virus entry. This chapter will review viral glycoproteins, cellular receptors and signaling cascades associated with the very first interactions of herpesviruses with their target cells.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus (BoHV) type 1 is an important agricultural pathogen that infects cattle and other ruminants worldwide. Acute infection of the oro-respiratory tract leads to immune suppression and allows commensal bacteria to infect an otherwise healthy lower respiratory tract. This condition is known as the Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). BoHV-1 latently infects the host for life and periodical stress events re-initiate BRD, translating into high morbidity and large economic losses. To gain a better understanding of the biology of BoHV-1 and the disease it causes, we elucidated the protein composition of extracellular virions using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. We detected 33 viral proteins, including the expected proteins of the nucleocapsid and envelope as well as other regulatory proteins present in the viral tegument. In addition to viral proteins, we have also identified packaged proteins of host origin. This constitutes the first proteomic characterization of the BoHV virion.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is the causative agent of bovine infectious rhinotracheitis, an important disease worldwide. Although conventional BoHV-1 vaccines, including those based on the use of modified live virus and also inactivated vaccines, are currently used in many countries, they have several disadvantages. DNA vaccines have emerged as an attractive approach since they have the potential to induce both humoral and cellular immune response; nevertheless, it is largely known that potency of naked DNA vaccines is limited. We demonstrated previously, in the murine model, that the use of adjuvants in combination with a DNA vaccine against BoHV-1 is immunologically beneficial. In this study, we evaluate the immune response and protection against challenge elicited in bovines, by a DNA vaccine carrying the sequence of secreted version of glycoprotein D (gD) of BoHV-1 formulated with chemical adjuvants. Bovines were vaccinated with formulations containing the sequence of gD alone or in combination with adjuvants ESSAI 903110 or Montanide™ 1113101PR. After prime vaccination and two boosters, animals were challenged with infectious BoHV-1. Formulations containing adjuvants Montanide™ 1113101PR and ESSAI 903110 were both, capable of increasing humoral immune response against the virus and diminishing clinical symptoms. Nevertheless, only formulations containing adjuvant Montanide™ 1113101PR was capable of improving cellular immune response and diminishing viral excretion. To our knowledge, it is the first time that a BoHV-1 DNA vaccine is combined with adjuvants and tested in cattle. These results could be useful to design a vaccine for the control of bovine rhinotracheitis.

Abstract
Various natural and synthetic polyanionic polymers with different chemical structures are known to exhibit potent antiviral activity in vitro toward a variety of enveloped viruses and may be considered as promising therapeutic agents. A water-soluble conjugate of 2,5-dihydroxybezoic acid (2,5-DHBA) with gelatin was synthesized by laccase-catalyzed oxidation of 2,5-DHBA in the presence of gelatin, and its antiviral activity against pseudorabies virus (PRV) and bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1), two members of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily, was studied. The conjugate produced no direct cytotoxic effect on cells, and did not inhibit cell growth at concentrations up to 1000 µg/mL. It exhibited potent antiviral activity against PRV (IC50, 1.5-15 µg/mL for different virus strains) and BoHV-1 (IC50, 0.5-0.7 µg/mL). When present during virus adsorption, the conjugate strongly inhibited the attachment of PRV and BoHV-1 to cells. The 2,5-DHBA-gelatin conjugate had no direct virucidal effect on the viruses and did not influence their penetration into cells, cell-to-cell spread, production of infectious virus particles in cells, and expression of PRV glycoproteins E and B. The results indicated that the 2,5-DHBA-gelatin conjugate strongly inhibits the adsorption of alphaherpesviruses to cells and can be a promising synthetic polymer for the development of antiviral formulations against alphaherpesvirus infections.

Abstract
Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) has haemagglutination (HA) activity toward equine red blood cells (RBCs), but the identity of its haemagglutinin is unknown. To identify the haemagglutinin of EHV-1, the major glycoproteins of EHV-1 were expressed in 293T cells, and the cells or cell lysates were mixed with equine RBCs. The results showed that only EHV-1 glycoprotein C (gC)-producing cells adsorbed equine RBCs, and that the lysate of EHV-1 gC-expressing cells agglutinated equine RBCs. EHV-1 lacking gC did not show HA activity. HA activity was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for gC, but not by antibodies directed against other glycoproteins. In addition, HA activity was not inhibited by the addition of heparin. These results indicate that EHV-1 gC can bind equine RBCs irrespective of heparin, in contrast to other herpesvirus gC proteins.

Abstract
Feline herpesvirus 1 (FeHV-1) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes feline viral rhinotracheitis, an important viral disease of cats on a worldwide basis. Acute FeHV-1 infection is associated with both upper respiratory and ocular signs. Following the acute phase of the disease lifelong latency is established, primarily in sensory neuronal cells. As is the case with human herpes simplex viruses, latency reactivation can result in recrudescence, which can manifest itself in the form of serious ocular lesions. FeHV-1 infection in cats is a natural host model that is useful for the identification of viral virulence genes that play a role in replication at the mucosal portals of entry or are mediators of the establishment, maintenance, or reactivation of latency. It is also a model system for defining innate and adaptive immunity mechanisms and for immunization strategies that can lead to better protection against this and other alphaherpesvirus infections.

Abstract
Infection of cattle by bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) can lead to upper respiratory tract disorders, conjunctivitis, genital disorders and immune suppression. BHV-1-induced immune suppression initiates bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), which costs the US cattle industry approximately 3 billion dollars annually. BHV-1 encodes at least three proteins that can inhibit specific arms of the immune system: (i) bICP0 inhibits interferon-dependent transcription, (ii) the UL41.5 protein inhibits CD8+ T-cell recognition of infected cells by preventing trafficking of viral peptides to the surface of the cells and (iii) glycoprotein G is a chemokine-binding protein that prevents homing of lymphocytes to sights of infection. Following acute infection of calves, BHV-1 can also infect and induce high levels of apoptosis of CD4+ T-cells. Consequently, the ability of BHV-1 to impair the immune response can lead to BRDC. Following acute infection, BHV-1 establishes latency in sensory neurons of trigeminal ganglia (TG) and germinal centers of pharyngeal tonsil. Periodically BHV-1 reactivates from latency, virus is shed, and consequently virus transmission occurs. Two viral genes, the latency related gene and ORF-E are abundantly expressed during latency, suggesting that they regulate the latency-reactivation cycle. The ability of BHV-1 to enter permissive cells, infect sensory neurons and promote virus spread from sensory neurons to mucosal surfaces following reactivation from latency is also regulated by several viral glycoproteins. The focus of this review is to summarize the biology of BHV-1 and how this relates to BRDC.

Abstract
Glycoprotein B (gB) is the most conserved glycoprotein among herpesviruses and it plays important roles in virus infectivity. In most herpesviruses, including pseudorabies virus (PRV), gB is cleaved by a cellular protease into two disulfide-linked subunits. In the present study, I found that the PRV gB generated in human colon carcinoma LoVo cells, which lack the ubiquitous protease furin, remained in the uncleaved form and the virus replicated in these cells without cell fusion. The uncleaved gB was converted into its subunits after furin digestion. The virus also replicated in Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells without cell fusion in the presence of a furin inhibitor, whereas distinct syncytia were formed in the absence of the inhibitor. LoVo cells constitutively expressing furin showed cell fusion when they were infected with the virus. Penetration kinetics assays revealed that the virus carrying uncleaved gB penetrated the cells at the same rate as the virus carrying cleaved gB. These results indicate that PRV gB is cleaved by furin and that the cleavage is dispensable for virus replication in vitro. Furthermore, gB cleavage is involved in syncytium formation but not in penetration kinetics, suggesting that different mechanisms operate between cell-cell fusion and virus-cell fusion by PRV.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to identify a potential interference of bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) with sperm–oocyte interactions during bovinein vitrofertilization. An inhibition of almost 70% of sperm–zona binding was observed when bovine cumulus-denuded oocytes were inseminated in the presence of 10750% tissue culture infective dose/ml BoHV-1. The inhibitory effect of BoHV-1 on sperm–zona binding was mediated by an interaction of the virus with spermatozoa, but not with oocytes. Treatment of spermatozoa with BoHV-1, however, did not affect sperm motility and acrosomal status. Antiserum against BoHV-1 prevented the virus-induced inhibition of sperm–zona binding, indicating that BoHV-1 itself affects the fertilization process. In order to investigate which BoHV-1 glycoprotein(s) are responsible for the virus–sperm interaction, BoHV-1 was treated with monoclonal antibodies against the viral glycoproteins gB, gC, gD and gH prior to insemination. Anti-gC completely prevented the inhibitory effect of BoHV-1 on sperm–zona binding, while anti-gD caused a reduction of this inhibition. Further evidence for the involvement of gC and gD in the virus–sperm interaction was provided by the fact that purified gC and gD decreased sperm–zona binding in a dose-dependent way with gC being more effective than gD. These results indicated that BoHV-1 inhibits bovine sperm–zona binding by interacting with spermatozoa. The binding of BoHV-1 to a spermatozoon is mediated by the viral glycoproteins gC and gD, and therefore seems to be comparable with the mechanisms of BoHV-1 attachment to its natural host cell.

Abstract
Glycoprotein B (gB) is the most conserved glycoprotein of herpesviruses and plays important roles in virus infectivity. Two intervening heptad repeat (HR) sequences were found in the C-terminal half of all herpesvirus gBs analysed. A synthetic peptide derived from the HR region (aa 477-510) of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) gB was studied for its ability to inhibit virus replication. The peptide interfered with cell-to-cell spread and consistently inhibited replication of BoHV-1, with a 50 % effective concentration value (EC(50)) of 5 microM. Inhibition of replication was obtained not only with herpesviruses including pseudorabies virus and herpes simplex virus type 1 but also partly with Newcastle disease virus. Possible mechanisms of membrane fusion inhibition by the peptide are discussed.

Abstract
Mouse BALB/3T3-A31-1-1 (A31) cells are non-permissive to bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1) but permissive to pseudorabies virus (PrV). The promoter activity of the immediate early gene of BHV-1 (BICP4) was very weak when compared with that of PrV in A31 cells. Infectious BHV-1 genomic DNA co-transfected into A31 cells with plasmids expressing BICP4 and BICP0 by a strong promoter failed to yield any progeny virus. Growth of BHV-1 in non-permissible A31 cells is restricted in many phases of the growth. The fact that expression of BICP4 and/or BICP0 in A31 cells does not improve the yield of progeny virus from infectious BHV-1 genomic DNA suggests that some more growth restrictions exist beyond the expression of BHV-1 immediate early proteins.

Abstract
Heparan sulphate (HS) has been found to serve as receptor for initial cell binding of numerous viruses. Different glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including heparin and HS, were analysed for their ability to bind swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV), a picornavirus with close homology to human coxsackie B5 virus. Binding of SVDV was established by heparin-affinity chromatography. In addition, infection of IB-RS-2 epithelial porcine cells was inhibited by treating the virus with soluble HS, heparin, and chondroitin sulphate B (CS-B), as well as by enzymic digestion of cell surface GAGs. Analysis of the infection course showed that SVDV uses cellular HS for its binding to the cell surface and that this interaction occurs during attachment of the virus, prior to its internalization into the cell. Sequence analysis of SVDV variants selected for their lack of sensitivity to heparin inhibition in vitro led to the identification of two residues (A2135V and I1266K) potentially involved in heparin/HS interaction. The location of these residues in a three-dimensional model shows that they are clustered in a well-exposed region of the capsid, providing a physical mechanism that could account for the heparin-binding phenotype.

Abstract
The picture beginning to form from genome analyses of viruses, unicellular organisms, and multicellular organisms is that viruses have shared functional modules with cells. A process of coevolution has probably involved exchanges of genetic information between cells and viruses for long evolutionary periods. From this point of view present-day viruses show flexibility in receptor usage and a capacity to alter through mutation their receptor recognition specificity. It is possible that for the complex DNA viruses, due to a likely limited tolerance to generalized high mutation rates, modifications in receptor specificity will be less frequent than for RNA viruses, albeit with similar biological consequences once they occur. It is found that different receptors, or allelic forms of one receptor, may be used with different efficiency and receptor affinities are probably modified by mutation and selection. Receptor abundance and its affinity for a virus may modulate not only the efficiency of infection, but also the capacity of the virus to diffuse toward other sites of the organism. The chapter concludes that receptors may be shared by different, unrelated viruses and that one virus may use several receptors and may expand its receptor specificity in ways that, at present, are largely unpredictable.

Abstract
Antigens of a bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BHV-5), isolated from a cow with a neurological infection in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, were used to immunize BALB/c mice to produce monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Eleven hybridomas secreting mAbs directed at BHV-5 antigens were obtained after two fusions and screening of 356 hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine-resistant clones. The mAbs reacted at dilutions up to 1:500 (hybridoma culture supernatant) and up to >1:10,000 (ascitic fluid) in an indirect fluorescent antibody assay (IFA) and in immunoperoxidase staining of BHV-5-infected cells. Four mAbs (1D12, 2E2, 2G10 and 4E4) showed virus-neutralizing activity against the parental BHV-5 isolate. Five mAbs (1F3, 2A6, 2F9, 2G10 and HB24L) reacted in Western immunoblotting with a protein of approximately 90 kDa. Three other mAbs (2E2, 3D6 and 4E4) reacted in IFA with antigens of a BHV-1 mutant glycoprotein C- negative strain, demonstrating that they are directed at a viral antigen other than glycoprotein C. The eleven mAbs tested reacted with 20 BHV-5 field isolates and nine mAbs reacted with 10 BHV-1 isolates. Two mAbs (1F3 and 2F9) failed to react with BHV-1 field isolates, although they displayed a weak and nonreproducible reaction with the BHV-1 reference strain Los Angeles. These mAbs may be very useful in distinguishing between BHV-1 and BHV-5 infections since most of the traditional reagents and techniques are unable to do so. One mAb (2F9) was shown to bind to viral antigens by immunohistochemistry of histological sections of the brain of a BHV-5-infected calf. These results demonstrate that the mAbs produced here are suitable for use in a variety of immunological techniques and therefore may be useful for diagnostic and research purposes.

Abstract
Adaptation of some viruses to replication in cultured cells selects variants that due to alterations in the viral attachment proteins convert to using heparan sulfate (HS) as initial receptor. We report that the nucleotide sequence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein C (gC), a principal attachment component of the virus, remained unchanged during adaptation of wild-type strains to cultured cells. Likewise, amino acid residues critical for binding of gC to HS were conserved in viral strains that replicated in vivo in different human tissues. Moreover wild-type HSV-1 strains derived directly from clinical specimens were, similar to their cell culture propagated progeny viruses and common laboratory strains, sensitive to heparin and demonstrated impairment in their ability to infect HS/chondroitin sulfate deficient cells. These results demonstrate that the HS-binding ability is a feature of wild-type strains of HSV-1.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate moieties serve as receptors for initial binding of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and -2) to cells. Deletion of HSV-1 glycoprotein C (gC-1) but not HSV-2 gC (gC-2) results in virions with reduced specific binding activity (virus particles bound per cell) and specific infectivity (p.f.u. per particle), suggesting that for HSV-1, but not HSV-2, gC plays a major role in mediating virus attachment. To test the hypothesis that glycoprotein B (gB), the other heparin-binding glycoprotein, mediates HSV-2 attachment, HSV-2 viruses deleted in gB-2 alone or deleted in both gB-2 and gC-2 were constructed. These viruses were grown on complementing or non-complementing cells and were compared with parental HSV-2(G) or a gC-2-deleted HSV-2 mutant (with respect to ability to bind and infect cells). At equivalent input concentrations of purified virions, significantly fewer gB-2-deleted virions bound to cells compared to parental HSV-2(G) or virus grown on complementing cells. In addition, viruses deleted in gB-2 were non-infectious. No immediate early proteins were detected in cells infected with gB-2-deleted virus harvested from non-complementing Vero cells, whereas these proteins were readily detected 4 h post-infection in cells infected with virus grown on complementing cells or with parental viruses. Viruses deleted in gB-2 failed to spread cell to cell, as evidenced by the inability to form plaques. Together these studies demonstrate that gB-2 plays a key role in mediating HSV-2 attachment and is required for entry and cell-to-cell spread. This glycoprotein is an important target for development of novel antiviral drugs.

Abstract
The glycoprotein B (gB) of Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) has a role in virus entry and cell-to-cell spread. In this report we examined the cell-binding properties of native ADV gB purified from the virus envelope by affinity chromatography. The binding of gB to the surface of susceptible cells BHK-21 and MDBK was specific, dose-dependent, and nearly saturable, which is characteristic of conventional receptor-ligand interactions. The purified gB was shown to specifically bind to immobilised heparin. The addition of soluble exogenous heparin and heparinase treatment of cells inhibited the binding of gB to the cells. Cell-associated gB could also be dissociated from the cells by soluble heparin. The results indicated that ADV gB binds specifically to cellular heparan sulphate. The binding of gB to cells inhibited the attachment of virus to cells and thus the formation of viral plaques. The results suggest that ADV gB may have a function in the initial attachment of ADV to the surface of susceptible cells.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate (HS) has been identified as a receptor molecule for numerous microbial pathogens, including herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). To further define the major HS-binding domain of the HSV-1 attachment protein, i.e. glycoprotein C (gC), virus mutants carrying alterations of either two neighbouring basic amino acid residues or a single hydrophobic amino acid residue within the N-terminal domain of the protein (residues 26-227) were constructed. In addition, a mutant lacking the Asn148 glycosylation site was included in the study. Binding of purified mutated gC proteins to isolated HS chains showed that viruses with mutations at residues Arg(129,130), Ile142, Arg(143,145), Arg(145,147), Arg(151,155) and Arg(155,160) had significantly impaired HS binding, in contrast to the other mutations, including Asn148. Impairment of the HS-binding activity of gC by these mutations had profound consequences for virus attachment and infection of cells in which amounts of HS exposed on the cell surface had been reduced. It is suggested that basic and hydrophobic residues localized at the Cys127-Cys144 loop of HSV-1 gC constitute a major HS-binding domain, with the most active amino acids situated near the C-terminal region of the two cysteines.

Abstract
The mechanisms of Marek's disease virus (MDV) entry to host cells have not yet been analyzed. Heparan sulfate (HS) on the cell surface serves as a receptor for several herpesviruses in mammalian species. In this study, we demonstrated that plaque formation by cell-free MDV is inhibited by the addition of soluble heparin to the cell culture. Moreover, pretreatment of susceptible cells, chicken embryo fibroblasts, with heparinase, partially reduced infectivity of the cell-free MDV. From these results, it was suggested that the MDV entry, at least in the case of cell-free MDV, is dependent on the presence of cell surface glycosaminoglycans, principally HS.

Abstract
A microassay was developed to detect human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) binding to its cellular receptor using flow cytometry. Comparable results were obtained either by using HHV-6 preparations conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate or by indirect immunofluorescent labeling of membrane-bound virus using as primary antibody a monoclonal antibody specific for the HHV-6 gp60/110 envelope glycoprotein. Virus attachment to the plasma membrane was specific and saturable. As expected, among cell lines of various origin, maximum binding was detected on human T-lymphoid cells (HSB-2). Papain digestion of HSB-2 cells prevented HHV-6 attachment and reduced significantly virus infection, indicating the involvement of a protein-based receptor in the attachment step. After removal of the protease, virus receptors were resynthesized and their regeneration was prevented partially by cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis. Unexpectedly, only high concentrations (mg/ml) of soluble heparan sulfate and heparin inhibited HHV-6 binding and infection. Under the same conditions, few micrograms (per ml) of heparin suppressed completely herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) attachment to the same cell line. Treatment of HSB-2 cells with heparitinase and heparinase, at doses that reduced significantly HSV-1 attachment, had little effect on HHV-6 binding to the cell membrane, indicating a different requirement of heparan sulfate-containing glycosaminoglycans for the two herpesviruses. These data suggest that protein components of the cellular membrane play an essential role in HHV-6 binding and infection while heparan sulfate-glycos-aminoglycans appear to be involved only partially in virus-receptor interaction.

Abstract
To gain entry into the host, viruses use host cell surface molecules that normally serve as receptors for other ligands. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) uses heparan sulphate (HS) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as receptors for initial attachment to the host cell surface. HS GAGs are both ubiquitous and structurally diverse, and normally serve as critical mediators of interactions between the cell and the extracellular environment. We have used the HS binding ability of HSV-1 to identify the function of a cellular gene, EXT1, which is involved in HS polymerisation. Cellular factors that affect virus growth and replication are often key regulators of the cell cycle and EXT1 is no different-humans with inherited mutations in EXT1 have developmental defects that lead to bone tumours (hereditary multiple exostoses, HME) and sometimes chondrosarcomas. Thus, as a result of using HSV-1 as a molecular probe, a functionally orphaned disease gene now has a defined function. These findings highlight the utility of viruses for investigating important cellular processes.

Abstract
The arbovirus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE), causes disease in humans and equines during periodic outbreaks. A murine model, which closely mimics the encephalitic form of the disease, was used to study mechanisms of attenuation. Molecularly cloned VEE viruses were used: a virulent, epizootic, parental virus and eight site-specific glycoprotein mutants derived from the parental virus. Four of these mutants were selected in vitro for rapid binding and penetration, resulting in positive charge changes in the E2 glycoprotein from glutamic acid or threonine to lysine (N. L. Davis, N. Powell, G. F. Greenwald, L. V. Willis, B. J. Johnson, J. F. Smith, and R. E. Johnston, Virology 183, 20-31, 1991). Tissue culture adaptation also selected for the ability to bind heparan sulfate as evidenced by inhibition of plaque formation by heparin, decreased infectivity for CHO cells deficient for heparan sulfate, and tight binding to heparin-agarose beads. In contrast, the parental virus and three other mutants did not use heparan sulfate as a receptor. All eight mutants were partially or completely attenuated with respect to mortality in adult mice after a subcutaneous inoculation, and the five mutants that interacted with heparan sulfate in vitro had low morbidity (0-50%). These same five mutants were cleared rapidly from the blood after an intravenous inoculation. In contrast, the parental virus and the other three mutants were cleared very slowly. In summary, the five VEE viruses that contain tissue-culture-selected mutations interacted with cell surface heparan sulfate, and this interaction correlated with low morbidity and rapid clearance from the blood. We propose that one mechanism of attenuation is rapid viral clearance in vivo due to binding of the virus to ubiquitous heparan sulfate.

Abstract
Canine herpesvirus 1 (CHV-1) has a relatively narrow host cell range when compared to other alphaherpesviruses. The early events of CHV-1 infection in a permissive Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and non-permissive cell lines. In order to quantify attachment and penetration, were investigated quantitative competitive PCR (QCPCR) method was established for quantitation of CHV-1 DNA. In all non-permissive cells tested, no significant decrease in viral attachment was observed. When CHV-1 was treated with heparin, viral attachment to MDCK cells was reduced by 25% of the input CHV-1 attached to MDCK cells even in the presence of 50 microg/ml heparin. However, the attachment of CHV-1 to non-permissive cells was severely impaired by heparin treatment. In permissive MDCK cells, about 80% of attached CHV-1 penetrated into cells. However, only 4-10% of CHV-1 attached to non-permissive cells penetrated into cells. Our data indicated that CHV-1, like other herpesviruses, attached to permissive MDCK cells through two mechanisms: the first one is through the interaction mediated by heparan sulfate (HS) on the cell surface and the second involves unidentified viral component and the cellular receptor. In contrast, the non-permissive cells lacked the cellular receptor for the second attachment mechanism and the defect in viral penetration into non-permissive cell might be related to the lack of the cellular receptor.

Abstract
Several human and animal alphaherpesviruses can enter cells via human herpesvirus entry mediator C (HveC), a receptor for viral glycoprotein D (gD). In previous studies with cells expressing unknown entry mediators, cellular expression of alphaherpesvirus gD was shown to inhibit entry of the homologous virus and sometimes also of heterologous alphaherpesviruses. To investigate the mechanism of gD-mediated interference and the basis for cross-interference among alphaherpesviruses, HveC was expressed in cells as the sole entry mediator, in the presence or absence of one of the gDs encoded by herpes simplex virus type 1, pseudorabies virus, or bovine herpesvirus type 1. Cells expressing HveC alone were highly susceptible to entry of all three viruses, whereas cells coexpressing HveC and any one of the gDs were at least partially resistant to infection by each virus. Coexpression of gD with HveC did not cause reduced levels of cell-surface HveC but the HveC had reduced ability to bind to exogenous gD. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed that HveC was complexed with gD in lysates of cells expressing both. Thus, cellular expression of gD can interfere with alphaherpesvirus entry by blocking ligand-binding sites of the gD receptor(s) used for entry and cross-interference can occur because different forms of alphaherpesvirus gD can compete for shared entry receptors.

Abstract
Recombinant E(rns) glycoprotein of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) has been tagged with a marker epitope or linked to an immunoglobulin Fc tail and expressed in insect and mammalian cell lines. The product was shown to be functional, both having ribonuclease activity and binding to a variety of cells that were permissive and non-permissive for replication of BVDV. Addition of soluble E(rns) to the medium blocked replication of BVDV in permissive cells. Binding of epitope-tagged E(rns) to permissive calf testes (CTe) cells was abolished and virus infection was reduced when cells were treated with heparinases I or III. E(rns) failed to bind to mutant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that lacked glycosaminoglycans (pgsA-745 cells) or heparan sulphate (pgsD-677 cells) but bound to normal CHO cells. E(rns) also bound to heparin immobilized on agarose and could be eluted by heparin and by a high concentration of salt. Flow cytometric analysis of E(rns) binding to CTe cell cultures showed that glycosaminoglycans such as heparin, fucoidan and dermatan sulphate all inhibit binding but dextran sulphate, keratan sulphate, chondroitin sulphate and mannan fail to inhibit binding. The low molecular mass polysulphonated inhibitor suramin also inhibited binding to CTe cells but poly-L-lysine did not. Furthermore, suramin, the suramin analogue CPD14, fucoidan and pentosan polysulphate inhibited the infectivity of virus. It is proposed that binding of E(rns) to cells is through an interaction with glycosaminoglycans and that BVDV may bind to cells initially through this interaction.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BHV-5) is the causative agent of a fatal meningo-encephalitis in calves and is closely related to BHV-1 which causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis. The gene encoding BHV-5 glycoprotein gH was sequenced. A high degree of conservation was found between BHV-1 and BHV-5 deduced gH amino acid sequences (86. 4%), which is also observed for all alphaherpesvirus gH sequences. Transcriptional analysis revealed a 3.1 kb mRNA as the specific gH transcript which was detected 2 h post-infection (p.i.). Twelve out of twenty-one MAbs directed against BHV-1 gH immunoprecipitated a 108-110 kDa glycoprotein, which was then designated BHV-5 gH. Synthesis and intracellular processing of BHV- 5 gH was analysed in infected MDBK cells using gH cross-reacting MAbs. Glycoprotein gH was expressed as a beta-gamma protein, detected by radioimmunoprecipitation as early as 3 h p.i. Glycosylation studies indicated that BHV-5 gH contains N-linked carbohydrates which are essential for the recognition of the protein by the MAbs. This suggests that N-linked glycans are involved in protein folding or are targets for the gH cross-reacting MAbs. Plaque- reduction neutralization assays showed that at least one BHV-1 gH antigenic domain is lacking in BHV-5 which may possibly relate to in vivo differences in virus tropism.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have recently been used for identification of receptors for several alphaherpesviruses, including pseudorabies virus (PrV) (R. J. Geraghty, C. Krummenacher, G. H. Cohen, R. J. Eisenberg, and P. G. Spear, Science 280:1618-1620, 1998). The experiments were based on the fact that CHO cells are inefficient target cells for PrV. However, a detailed analysis of the interaction between PrV and CHO wild-type and recombinant PrV-receptor bearing cells has not been performed. We show here that PrV has a growth defect on CHO cells which leads to a ca. 100-fold reduction in plating efficiency, strongly delayed penetration kinetics, and a 10(4)-fold reduction in one-step growth. Entry of PrV into CHO cells is significantly delayed but is not affected by inhibitors of endocytosis, suggesting that the mechanism of penetration resembles that on permissive cells. The defects in plating efficiency and penetration could be corrected by expression of herpesvirus entry mediators B (HveB), HveC, or HveD, with HveC being the most effective. However, the defects in one-step growth and plaque formation were not corrected by expression of PrV receptors, indicating an additional restriction in viral replication after entry. Surprisingly, PrV infection of CHO cells was sensitive to neutralization by a gB-specific monoclonal antibody, which does not inhibit PrV infection of other host cells. Moreover, the same monoclonal antibody neutralized PrV infectivity on cells displaying the interference phenomenon by overexpression of gD and subsequent intracellular sequestration of gD receptors. Thus, absence of gD receptors on two different host cells leads to an increased sensitivity of PrV toward gB neutralization. We hypothesize that this is due to the increased requirement for interaction of gB with a cellular surface protein in the absence of the gD-gD receptor interaction. As expected, CHO cells are as susceptible as other host cells to infection by PrV gD(-) Pass, an infectious gD-negative PrV mutant. However, PrV gD(-) Pass was also not able to form plaques on CHO cells.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to develop an in vitro system for presentation of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) antigens to bovine T lymphocytes and to characterize the antigen-presenting cells (APC) which efficiently activate CD4(+) T cells. Two approaches were used to monitor the infection of APC by BHV-1 as follows: (i) detection of viral glycoproteins at the cell surface by immunofluorescence staining and (ii) detection of UL26 transcripts by reverse transcription-PCR. The monocytes were infected, while dendritic cells (DC) did not demonstrate any detectable viral expression. These data suggest that monocytes are one site of replication, while DC are not. The capacities of monocytes and DC to present BHV-1 viral antigens in vitro were compared. T lymphocytes (CD2(+) or CD4(+)) from BHV-1 immune cattle were stimulated in the presence of APC previously incubated with live or inactivated wild-type BHV-1. DC stimulated strong proliferation of Ag-specific T cells, while monocytes were poor stimulators of T-cell proliferation. When viral attachment to the surface of the APC was inhibited by virus pretreatment with soluble heparin, T-cell proliferation was dramatically decreased. Unexpectedly, incubation of DC and monocytes with the deletion mutant BHV-1 gD-/-, which displays impaired fusion capacity, resulted in strong activation of T lymphocytes by both APC types. Collectively, these results indicate that presentation of BHV-1 antigens to immune T cells is effective in the absence of productive infection and suggest that BHV-1 gD-/- mutant virus could be used to induce virus-specific immune responses in cattle.
