African horse sickness virus serotype 4 antigens, VP1-1, VP2-2, VP4, VP7 and NS3, induce cytotoxic T cell responses in vitro
2016, Virus ResearchCitation Excerpt :VP2 interacts with neutralizing antibodies during an infection and contains the majority of neutralising epitopes (Burrage et al., 1993; Roy, 1996). Non-structural proteins NS1, NS2, NS3, NS3a and NS4 have been identified in infected cells and are involved in replication, morphogenesis and release from the infected cells (van Staden et al., 1991; Belhouchet et al., 2011). The disease is controlled by preventative vaccination with a live, attenuated, multivalent commercial vaccines.
Vaccination of mice with a modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus expressing the African horse sickness virus (AHSV) capsid protein VP2 induces virus neutralising antibodies that confer protection against AHSV upon passive immunisation
2014, Virus ResearchCitation Excerpt :The inner core encloses VP1, VP4 and VP6 proteins, (encoded by segments 1, 4 and 5, respectively) comprising the viral replicase complex and the 10 double-stranded RNA genome segments. There are four nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2, NS3/3A, and NS4), involved in virus and morphogenesis (Belhouchet et al., 2011; Manole et al., 2012; Roy et al., 1994; van Staden et al., 1991). AHSV infection in horses most often results in severe clinical disease and death but those animals that survive exhibit a solid lifelong serotype-specific immunity.
Epizootic heamorragic disease
2011, Research in Veterinary ScienceCitation Excerpt :Table 2 summarises the list of reference strains as widely accepted highlighting the urgent need of establishing reference strains for EHDV serotypes. Genomic studies and phylogenetic analyses also provided important information on the properties and origin of the strains (Wilson, 1994b; 1991a,b; van Staden et al., 1991; Cheney et al., 1996; Mecham et al., 2003; Murphy et al., 2005; 2006; Anthony et al., 2009a,b,c; 2010). The VP2 gene sequences of EHDV-3 (NIG1967/-1) and EHDV-1 shared an 88.7% identity (Anthony et al., 2009a) conversely other gene sequences showed low percentage of identity (Wilson et al., 2009b; Anthony et al., 2009b).
