ABSTRACT

 

Souza VF, Dellagostin OA, Roehe PM.  Plasmid vector for recombinant bovine herpesvirus, Onl J Vet Res., 29 (10): 612-620, 2025. We report PCR-based plasmid vector for recombinant Bovine Herpesvirus type 5 (BHV-5) by amplify the flanking sequences (5’ and 3’ regions) of the glycoprotein E (gE) gene of BHV-5 resulting in a gE’ vector after sequencial subcloning steps, and also amplified the enhanced green flourescent protein (EGFP) reporter gene, subcloned between 5’ and 3’ gE DNA fragments resulting in a gE-EGFP vector. This vector can be used for the production of recombinant BHV-5 to improve the study about deleted viral samples. Moreover, this protocol can also be adopted for construction of plasmids for production of several recombinant DNA viruses.
