CA 2417340

This invention relates to mutant Equine herpesvirus type-1 (EHV-1) isolates, and in particular, EHV-1 isolates carrying mutations in the immediate-early (IE) gene of the viral genome. A panel of EHV-1 mutant isolates have been described. Preffered EHV-1 isolates are those which are replication-competent and nonpathogenic. The mutant EHV-1 isolates of the present invention are useful in formulating vaccine compositions for preventing and treating EHV-1 infections in horses. The present invention further provides methods of determining the pathogenicity of an EHV-1 virus present in a horse subject which has been previously immunized with a non-pathogenic EHV-1 isolate of the present invention.

Cette invention porte sur des isolats du type 1 du virus herpétique équin mutant (EHV-1), et notamment, des mutations supportant des isolats de EHV-1 dans le gène précoce immédiat (IE) du génome viral. L'invention porte également sur un panneau d'isolats mutants. Des isolats préférés de EHV-1 sont ceux qui sont compétents par réplication et non pathogènes. Les isolats mutants de EHV-1 de cette invention sont utiles dans la formulation de compositions de vaccins permettant de prévenir et traiter les infections des chevaux à EHV-1. Cette invention porte encore sur des procédés de détermination de la pathogénicité d'un virus EHV-1 présent chez un cheval qui avait déjà été immunisé par un isolat de EHV-1 non pathogène de l'invention.
