In order to address the neutralization epitope on bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV 1) glycoprotein B (gB), a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), a series of truncation forms of the glycoprotein and an MAb-escape mutant were used in this study. Immunocytochemistry on the truncations using MAbs against the glycoprotein revealed that the neutralization epitopes recognized by the MAbs lay between residues 1 and 52 of mature gB. Comparison of the sequences among the mutant, parent, and revertant viruses demonstrated that the amino-terminal residue of mature gB of the escape mutant was changed from Arg to Gln. These findings indicate that the amino-terminal residue of gB is critical for neutralization of BHV1. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
