All gammaherpesviruses encode a major glycoprotein homologous to the Epstein-Barr virus gp350. These glycoproteins are often involved in cell binding, and some provide neutralization targets. However, the capacity of gammaherpesviruses for long-term transmission from immune hosts implies that in vivo neutralization is incomplete. In this study, we used Bovine Herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) to determine how its gp350 homolog - gp180 - contributes to virus replication and neutralization. A lack of gp180 had no impact on the establishment and maintenance of BoHV-4 latency, but markedly sensitized virions to neutralization by immune sera. Antibody had greater access to gB, gH and gL on gp180-deficient virions, including neutralization epitopes. Gp180 appears to be highly O-glycosylated, and removing O-linked glycans from virions also sensitized them to neutralization. It therefore appeared that gp180 provides part of a glycan shield for otherwise vulnerable viral epitopes. Interestingly, this O-glycan shield could be exploited for neutralization by lectins and carbohydrate-specific antibody. The conservation of O-glycosylation sites in all gp350 homologs suggests that this is a general evasion mechanism that may also provide a therapeutic target. Herpesvirus transmission between immune hosts implies some kind of antibody evasion. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. All gammaherpesviruses encode a major glycoprotein homologous to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) gp350. Gp350 binds EBV to B cells and provides a neutralization target. However, despite its immunogenicity, EBV carriers remain infectious. Here we show that the gp350 homolog of the related Bovine Herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4), gp180, and its O-glycans, shield some otherwise vulnerable viral epitopes. Extensive O-glycosylation is common to all gammaherpesvirus gp350 homologs, suggesting that this evasion mechanism is also widespread.
