English Abstract


This invention relates to the field of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), and vaccines for the treatment thereof. This invention
describes the preparation of live, attenuated Bovine Herpesvirus type I (BHV-1) as a virus, vaccine and vector for expression of BVDV
antigens. A BVDV cDNA clone containing sequences corresponding to glycoprotein gp53 is inserted into an inactivated BHV-1 virus.


French Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte au virus de la maladie des muqueuses (BVDV) et à des vaccins utilisés dans le traitement de cette maladie. Cette invention concerne la préparation de l'herpèsvirus des bovins vivants atténués, de type 1 (BHV-1), sous forme d'un virus, d'un vaccin et d'un vecteur d'expression des antigènes de BVDV. Un clone d'ADNc du BVDV contenant des séquences correspondant à la glycoprotéine gp53 est inséré dans un virus BHV-1 inactivé.

Claims

44
CLAIMS
1. An attenuated replicating non-pathogenic virus, for
preventing disease caused by Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus
(BVDV), which comprises a gene or gene combination from a
BVDV virus, which functionally expresses the BVDV
glycoprotein gp53, gp48 or gp25, or any combination
thereof.

Bovine Herpes Virus type 1 (BHV-1), attenuated
adenoviruses, attenuated bovine mammillitis virus,
attenuated bovine papillomavirus or attenuated pseudorabies
virus.
3. A virus of claim 1 or claim 2, which is attenuated
because the thymidine kinase (tk) gene is non-functional.
4. A virus of claim 3, which is attenuated BHV-1.
5. A virus of claim 4, which contains and expresses the
gene that codes for BVDV gp53.

in BHV-1.
7. A virus of claim 5 or claim 6, where the gene that
codes for gp53 is inserted into the inactivated tk gene
site.
8. A virus of claim 7, where the gene or gene combination

gene and having a deletion to the tk gene;
b) a promoter/polyadenylation signal inserted in the
tk gene deletion; and
c) a signal peptide gene sequence preceding a gp53
gene or gene combination, all of which is inserted between
the promoter and the polyadenylation signal.
9. A virus of claim 8, where the signal peptide gene
sequence is any of the thirty-nine examples of well-
characterised signal peptide sequences found in Perlman et

comprises a physiological buffered medium, pH 7.0 to 7.4,
containing 2.5 to 15% serum which does not contain
antibodies to BHV.
18. A process of preparing a virus of claim 1, comprising:
a) isolation of a functionally expressing gene or
gene combination that causes BVDV;
b) inserting the gene or gene combination into a
replicating non-pathogenic virus; and

Furthermore, even though perfiiat~Pntly infectP(l ~nim~lc are immllnotolerant to the J-
virus which i..fe~lqd them in utero, they do develop ~ e~ce when i..f~te-l with other
closely related BVDV biotypes. These infect;~na are ch~,.c~.ized by low morbidity
(because relatively spe~king there will not be many pregnant ~nim~la i..r~ e~ at the
10 right time during pregnancy to produce BVDV perRiatently i--f~.t~l normal calves),
but high mortality. This ~liaP~ce syndrome is known as mllco~ iae~e and often

The i~,uu~ l~ce of this virus and it's widespread presence m the cattle

p~t~v~:~t BVDV infect;on These v~rrimpa have been built on the tr~it;on~l concepts

replic~tion at the les~ to~!t interface. With BHV it is the les~ilc.lol~t interface
which ~lnmin~t~R The commnn mll~oR~l immlln~ system ensures that immlln~
responses produced at one surface will be e~-;Lve at other surfaces. Thus the
5 recnmhin~nt virus of this invention, BHV/BVDVgp53, will, when ~lmini~tAred to
cows, sheep or goats, preferably via the intranasal route, replic~t~ in the re!~,uil~tc
mns~os~p and produce an immnnP reRponRe
Prior to the t;~l las~ion of the BVDVgp53 gene in BHV, the thymidine kinase
gene was ~alPte~ from the BHV virus using a ,ulocess known to ~ttenll~tP the virus.
10 The BHV, a live ~tenll~te~l virus, will repli~te and produce a cell mptli~te~response. As part of that repli~tive pl'OCe~, the BVDV gp53 gene will be é~ulassed
and, bec~nRe the viru~ is inside the cell, the correct ,uroce~;..g for a cell me~ints~
reRponRe to the BVDV gp53 part of the recQmhin~nt vlI`U8 will alBO occur. Most
~u~ la,ltly, this reRponRe will occur without the po~RRihle side effects of

WO 95/12682 ~ 1 7 2 81 5 PCT/US94/12198

is normally tr~nRl~tRd as one long poly~ro~i~ and then post-trs~nRlntionsllly mo-lifiarl
into the various viral proteins, the gp53 portion of the BVD~T genome does not
cont~in the usual signal peptide required for tr~nRln~t;-.n of the protein to the cell
5 membrane, where the protein is normally expressed. NonPt}lelPsR, the cDNA was
sllcce~fillly ~ e~d in both cell-free systems and baculovirus, and the protein
appeared to be tr~n~loc~ o~ylated and anchored in both systems, despite thelack of a co~v~l nn~l signal peptide. We ~eci-lP~ however, to evaluate expression
of gp53 in BHV-1 both with and without various signal peptides.
In order to attach mlrlPot;~lp sequences ~nCo~lin~ signal pept;~le~ to the gp53
gene, we i,~Lo~luced a R~qmT-TT site into 5' end of the p53 gene by site directed
mutagenesis, as follows: The p53 gene was blunt-end ligated into the filled-in
R~mT-TT site of pl~Rmi~l pSP72 (Promega Corp., ~ Qn~ wiRcQncin)~ thus removing
all Rs~mT~T sites from t~e re~lllting pl~mi~ We inlloduced a single base change, a

(Fig. 2 section B). The base change was verified by nn~leot~le seql~en~ing~ and t,he

could be due to the fact that the gp53 gene in the BHV-1 viruses can~e from a
