Abstract

Sera from dogs which were infected with canine herpesvirus (CHV) were analyzed for their serological reactivities against virus-specific glycoproteins (gps). By sequential immunoblot analysis using sera from experimentally infected dogs, it was found that the antibody response to gp 145/112 appeared first followed by responses to gp47 and gp80. In addition, all sera from naturally infected dogs which showed neutralizing activity to CHV reacted with gp 145/112, whereas 77% and 70% reacted with gp47 and gp80, respectively. Furthermore, some of the sera also cross-neutralized feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) and reacted with gp 143/108 of FHV-1, indicating that gp 145/112 of CHV induced cross-neutralizing antibody response to FHV-1.
