The equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) gene encoding glycoprotein 13 (gp13) was cloned into the hemagglutinin (HA) locus of vaccinia virus (Copenhagen strain). Expression of the gp13 gene was driven by the early/late vaccinia virus H6 promoter. Metabolically radiolabeled polypeptides of approximately 47 and 44 kilodaltons and 90 kilodaltons (glycosylated form) were precipitated with both polyclonal and gp13-specific monoclonal antibodies. Presentation of gp13 on the cytoplasmic membrane of cells infected with the recombinant gp13 vaccinia virus was demonstrated by immunofluorescence of unfixed cells. Inoculation of the recombinant gp13 vaccinia virus into guinea pigs induced neutralizing antibodies to both EHV-1 and vaccinia virus. Hamsters vaccinated with the recombinant gp13 vaccinia virus survived a lethal challenge with the hamster-adapted Kentucky strain of EHV-1. These results indicate that expression in vaccinia virus vectors of EHV-1 gp13, the glycoprotein homolog of herpes simplex virus gC-1 and gC-2, pseudorabies virus gIII, and the varicella-zoster virus gpV may provide useful vaccine candidates for equine herpesvirus infections.

The equine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein 14 (EHV-1 gp14) gene was cloned, sequenced, and expressed by vaccinia virus recombinants. Recombinant virus vP613 elicited the production of EHV-1-neutralizing antibodies in guinea pigs and was effective in protecting hamsters from subsequent lethal EHV-1 challenge. Coexpression of EHV-1 gp14 in vaccinia virus recombinant vP634 along with EHV-1 gp13 (P. Guo, S. Goebel, S. Davis, M. E. Perkus, B. Languet, P. Desmettre, G. Allen, and E. Paoletti, J. Virol. 63:4189-4198, 1989) greatly enhanced the protective efficacy in the hamster challenge model over that obtained with single recombinants. The inoculum doses (log10) required for protection of 50% of hamsters were 6.1 (EHV-1 gp13), 5.2 (EHV-1 gp14), and less than 3.6 (vaccinia virus recombinant expressing both EHV-1 glycoproteins [gp13 and gp14]).

Recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the influenza virus haemagglutinin (HA) or nucleoprotein (NP) genes from A/SW/Hong Kong/1/74 (H1N1) under the control of a hybrid promoter containing the P7.5 early promoter element and promoter of the gene encoding the major protein of cowpox virus A type inclusion body was constructed to investigate protective immunity against homologous and heterologous viruses in mice. These recombinant vaccinia viruses produced authentic influenza virus HA and NP in infected cells. The recombinant vaccinia virus-influenza virus HA conferred efficient subtype-specific protection although mice challenged with heterologous influenza viruses underwent initial infection. By contrast, immunization with the recombinant vaccinia-influenza virus NP limited virus multiplication in the lungs against challenge infection with all H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses examined, although less efficiently. These results will prompt the re-examination of the possibility of using the recombinant vaccinia virus-influenza virus NP as a cross-protective vaccine

Abstract Passatempo virus was isolated during a zoonotic outbreak. Biologic features and molecular characterization of hemagglutinin, thymidine kinase, and vaccinia growth factor genes suggested a vaccinia virus infection, which strengthens the idea of the reemergence and circulation of vaccinia virus in Brazil. Molecular polymorphisms indicated that Passatempo virus is a different isolate.
