The objective of this study was to evaluate Th1 promoting strategies for vaccination of neonates against bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1). A plasmid encoding a secreted truncated version of glycoprotein D (tgD) and tgD protein formulated with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) effectively primed the immune system of newborn lambs, whereas without CpG ODN the tgD protein was less effective. Furthermore, a heterologous DNA prime-protein/CpG boost induced stronger and more balanced immune responses than either the DNA vaccine or a protein/CpG prime-DNA boost. Three of these strategies were compared as an approach to induce protective immunity in newborn calves with BHV-1-specific maternal antibodies. Whereas the DNA vaccine induced minimal protection, the DNA prime-protein boost resulted in reduced temperature response, weight loss and virus shedding in comparison to the placebo group. Close to complete protection against BHV-1 challenge was elicited in the calves immunized with the protein/CpG formulation, as these animals lost very little weight, had only slightly elevated temperatures and shed almost no virus.
