Description

RECOMBINA INFECTIOUS LARYNGOTRACHEITIS VIRUS AND USES THEREOF

ithin this application several publications are referenced by arabic numerals within parentheses. Full citations for these publications may be found at the end of the specification immediately preceding the claims. The disclosures of these publications are hereby incorporated by reference into this application in order to more fully describe the state of the art to which this invention pertains.

Field, of the Invention

The present invention involves recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) viruses useful in vaccines to protect poultry from naturally-occurring infectious laryngotracheitis virus and other poultry diseases.

Eac σround of the Invention

The ability to isolate viral DNA and clone this isolated DNA into bacterial plasmids has greatly expanded the approaches available to make viral vaccines. The methods used to make the present invention involve modifying cloned viral DNA sequences by insertions, deletions and single or multiple base changes. The modified DNA is then reinserted into the viral genome to render the virus non-pathogenic. The resulting live virus may then be used in a vaccine to elicit an immune response in a host animal and to protect the animal against a disease.

One group of animal viruses, the herpesviruses or

Herpetoviridae, is an example of a class of viruses amenable to this approach. These viruses contain 100,000 to 200,000 base pairs of DNA as their genetic material. Importantly, several regions of the genome have been identified that are nonessential for the replication of virus in vitro in cell culture. Modifications in these regions of the DNA may lower the pathogenicity of the virus, i.e., attenuate the virus. For example, inactivation of the thymidine kinase gene renders human herpes simplex virus non-pathogenic (1) , and pseudorabies virus of swine non-pathogenic (2) .

Removal of part of the repeat region renders human herpes simplex virus non-pathogenic (3, 4). A repeat region has been identified in Marek's disease virus that is associated with viral oncogenicity (5) . A region in herpesvirus saimiri has similarly been correlated with oncogenicity (6) . Removal of part of the repeat region renders pseudorabies virus non-pathogenic (U.S. Patent No. 4,877,737, issued October 31, 1989). A region in pseudorabies virus has been shown to be deleted in naturally-occurring vaccine strains (7, 8) and it has been shown that these deletions are at least partly responsible for the lack of pathogenicity of these strains.

It is generally agreed that herpesviruses contain non¬ essential regions of DNA in various parts of the genome. Some of these regions are associated with virulence of the virus, and modification of them leads to a less- pathogenic virus, from which a vaccine may be derived.

Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) , an alpha herpesvirus (9) , is an important pathogen of poultry in the USA, Europe, and Australia, responsible for egg production losses and death (10) . It causes an acute disease of chickens which is characterized by respiratory depression, gasping and expectoration of bloody exudate. Viral replication is limited to cells of the respiratory tract wherein infection of the trachea gives rise to tissue erosion and hemorrhage.

In chickens, no drug has been effective in reducing the 5 degree of lesion formation or in decreasing clinical signs. Vaccination of birds with various modified forms of the ILT virus derived by cell passage and/or tedious regimes of administration have been used to confer acceptable protection in susceptible chickens. Due to

10 the limited degree of attenuation of current ILTV vaccines care must be taken to assure that the correct level of virus is maintained; enough to provide protection, but not enough to cause disease in the flock (11-21) . Furthermore, these viruses may revert back to

15 virulence, causing disease rather than providing protection against it.

ILTV has been analyzed at the molecular level. Restriction maps of the ILTV genome have been reported 20 (22-26) . The DNA sequence of several genes have been identified, i.e., thymidine kinase (27, 28), glycoprotein gB (27, 29, 30), ribonucleotide reductase (27, 31), capsid p40 (31, 32) .

25 Furthermore, Shepard, et al. (53) disclosed that several genes located in the unique long region of the infectious laryngotracheitis virus genomic DNA are non-essential for viral replication.

30 Applicants have unexpectedly found that the unique short region of the ILT virus genomic DNA contains genes that * are associated with ILTV virulence and that a deletion in those genes leads to an attenuated ILTV. Particularly,

_' it was found that a deletion in the glycoprotein gG gene

35 of the ILT virus results in an attenuated virus, which is useful as a vaccine against subsequent attack by a virulent ILTV strains. Applicants also found that a deletion in the glycoprotein gl gene of the unique short region also attenuates the ILTV. Furthermore, it is contemplated that a deletion in the US2 gene, the UL-47 like gene, and the glycoprotein g60 gene of the unique short region will also attenuate the ILTV.

ILTV can become latent in healthy animals which makes them potential carriers of the virus. For this reason, it is clearly advantageous to be able to distinguish animals vaccinated with non-virulent virus from animals infected with disease-causing wild-type or naturally- occurring virus. The development of differential vaccines and companion diagnostic tests has proven valuable in the management of pseudorabies disease (55) .

A similar differential marker vaccine would be of great value in the management of ILTV caused disease. The construction of differential diagnostics has focused on the deletion of glycoproteins. Theoretically, the glycoprotein chosen to be the diagnostic marker should have the following characteristics: (1) the glycoprotein and its gene should be non-essential for the production of infectious virus in tissue culture; (2) the glycoprotein should elicit a major serological response in the animal; and (3) the glycoprotein should not be one that makes a significant contribution to the protective immunity.

The ILT virus has been shown to specify at least four major glycoproteins as identified by monoclonal antibodies (M_r- 205K, 115K, 90K and 60K) . Three glycoproteins seem to be antigenically related (M_r= 205K, 115K, and 90K) (34-36).

Three major ILT virus glycoproteins, gB (29, 30), gC (27,

51), and g60 (34, 53) have been described in the literature. These three genes have been sequenced and two of the ILTV genes have been shown to be homologous to the HSV glycoproteins gB, and gC.

Of these, it is known that the ILTV gB gene is an 5 essential gene and would not be appropriate as deletion marker genes. Furthermore, the gC gene of herpesviruses has been shown to make a significant contribution to protective immunity as a target of neutralizing antibody (56) and as a target of cell-mediated immunity (57) . 10 Therefore, the gC gene is not desirable as a deletion marker gene.

As to other glycoprotein encoding genes cited above, it is not known whether or not they would be suitable 15 candidates for deletion in order to construct a recombinant ILT virus which can be used as a diagnostic vaccine.

Applicants have unexpectedly found that there are two

20 glycoprotein encoding genes located within the unique short region of the ILT viral genome which could be safely deleted in order to construct a recombinant ILT virus that can be used as a diagnostic vaccine. These are the glycoprotein gG gene and the glycoprotein gl

25 gene. By genetically engineering an ILT virus with a deletion in the glycoprotein gG gene or the glycoprotein gl gene, a ILT virus is produced which does not express any glycoprotein gG or glycoprotein gl. None of the prior arts teach or suggest that these two genes in the

30 unique short region of the virus are appropriate candidates for deletion in order to create a diagnostic

⁶ ILT virus vaccine.

* Although several of the herpesviruses have been

35 genetically engineered, no examples of recombinant ILTV have been reported. The ability to engineer DNA viruses with large genomes, such as vaccinia virus and the herpesviruses, has led to the finding that these recombinant viruses can be used as vectors to deliver vaccine antigens and therapeutic agents for animals. The herpesviruses are attractive candidates for development as vectors because their host range is primarily limited to a single target species (37) and they have the capacity for establishing latent infection (38) that could provide for stable in vivo expression of a foreign gene. Although several herpesvirus species have been engineered to express foreign gene products, recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis viruses expressing foreign gene products have not been constructed. The infectious laryngotracheitis viruses described above may be used as vectors for the delivery of vaccine antigens from microorganisms causing important poultry diseases. Other viral antigens which may be included in a multivalent vaccine with an ILTV vector include infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) , Newcastle disease virus (NDV) , infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) , and Marek¹ s disease virus (MDV) . Such multivalent recombinant viruses would protect against ILT disease as well as other diseases. Similarly the infectious laryngotracheitis viruses may be used as vectors for the delivery of therapeutic agents.

The therapeutic agent that is delivered by a viral vector of the present invention must be a biological molecule that is a by-product of ILTV replication. This limits the therapeutic agent in the first analysis to either DNA, RNA or protein. There are examples of therapeutic agents from each of these classes of compounds in the form of anti-sense DNA, anti-sense RNA (39) , ribozymes (40) , suppressor tRNAs (41) , interferon-inducing double stranded RNA and numerous examples of protein therapeutics, from hormones, e.g., insulin, to lymphokines, e.g., interferons and interleukins, to natural opiates. The discovery of these therapeutic agents and the elucidation of their structure and function does not necessarily allow one to use them in a viral vector delivery system, however, because of the experimentation necessary to determine whether an _≠ 5 appropriate insertion site exists.

_* Summary of the Invention

The present invention provides a recombinant, attenuated 10 infectious laryngotracheitis virus comprising the infectious laryngotracheitis viral genome which contains a deletion in the glycoprotein gG gene. This attenuated virus is useful as a vaccine against infectious laryngotracheitis virus. 15

The present invention also provides a recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis virus comprising the infectious laryngotracheitis viral genome which contains a deletion or other alteration in the glycoprotein gG 20 gene so that upon replication, the recombinant virus produces no glycoprotein gG.

The present invention also provides a method for distinguishing chickens or other poultry vaccinated with 25 a recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis virus which produces no glycoprotein gG from those infected with a naturally-occurring infectious laryngotracheitis virus.

The present invention also provides a recombinant, 30 attenuated infectious laryngotracheitis virus comprising the infectious laryngotracheitis viral genome which contains a deletion in the US2 gene, UL47-like gene, ORF4 gene or glycoprotein g60 gene.

5 The present invention also discloses four non-essential regions of the infectious laryngotracheitis viral genome : human cytomegalovirus immediately early (HCMV IE) promoter, pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gX (PRV gX) promoter, and infectious bovine herpesvirus virus 1.1 VP8 (BHV-1.1 VP8) . These regions may be used as insertion sites for a foreign gene in constructing a recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis virus vector.

PREPARATION OF INFECTIOUS LARYNGOTRACHEITIS VIRUS STOCK SAMPLES. Infectious laryngotracheitis virus stock samples were prepared by infecting primary chicken embryo kidney cells (CEK; obtained from Spaf s, Inc.) or primary chicken kidney cells (CK; obtained from chicks hatched from fertile eggs supplied by Hyvac) (50) in 225 cm² flasks with 0.5 ml of viral stock containing 10⁵-10⁶ pfu in IX Eagle's Basal Medium (modified) with Hank's salts

(BME) , 10% bromoethylamine(BEI)-treated fetal bovine serum (FBS) , 1% glutamine stock, 2% pennicillin/streptomycin (P/S) stock, and 1% sodium bicarbonate stock (these components are obtained from Irvine Scientific or an equivalent supplier, and hereafter the growth medium is referred to as complete BME medium) . Viral stocks were then harvested 4-5 days later. Infected media and cells were resuspended in complete medium containing 20% sterile whole milk and stored frozen at -70*C.

PREPARATION OF INFECTIOUS LARYNGOTRACHEITIS VIRUS DNA. Four to five days after viral infection, cells and media were scraped from each flask into 15 ml conical centrifuge tubes and pelleted at 1700 x g for 5 minutes at 4°C. Because as much as 50% of the virus may be in the media, the supernatants were saved and treated as will be described below. The cell pellets were resuspended in 1 l PBS per tube, combined and centrifuged again at 1700 x g for 5 minutes. The pellets were resuspended in 1 ml/flask of a buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, and 1.5 mM MgCl₂ and were incubated for 15 minutes at 4°C. Twenty five μls of 20% NP40 per flask was added, and the mixture was then homogenized in a dounce homogenizer using an A pestle. The preparation was centrifuged at 1700 x g for 10 minutes at 4°C and the supernatant was retained. Ten μl of 0.5 M EDTA, 50 μl of 20% SDS, and 25 μl of 10 mg/ l proteinase K was added to the supernatant (per original flask) . In some cases, this was then combined with virus obtained from the cell media supernatants (see above) . The mixture was then treated at 65^βC for 1-16 hours, followed by two extractions with phenol saturated with 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8. DNA in the aqueous phase was then precipitated with added 3 M sodium acetate (1/lOth volume) and 2.5 vols of 100% ethanol.

To obtain virus from the media, the cell media supernatants were centrifuged at 23,500 x g for 30 minutes, and drained well. The pellet was resuspended in the above proteinase K-containing mixture as described.

The DNA pellets were resuspended in 20 μl TE/flask and could be used at this point for further experiments or treated further to remove RNA with pancreatic RNase A, followed by phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation to obtain the DNA. To prepare viral DNA minipreps, infected 10 cm. dishes were scraped into conical centrifuge tubes and centrifuged 5 minutes at 1000 x g. Cell media supernatants were kept and treated as above. The cell pellets were each resuspended in 0.5 ml of 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP40, and incubated 10 minutes at room temperature. Ten μl of 10 mg/ml RNase A was added, and the preparation was centrifuged 5 minutes at 1000 x g. Twenty-five μl of 20 % SDS and 25 μl of 10 mg/ml proteinase K was added to the supernatant, and the entire preparation was added to the viral pellet from the cell media if it was used. The mixture was incubated at 55- 65°C for one hour, extracted with buffer-saturated phenol and precipitated by the addition of 1 ml of ethanol. The DNA pellet was resuspended in 20 μl of TE and stored at

4^βC.

POLYMERASE FILL-IN REACTION. DNA was resuspended in buffer containing 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 50 mM KC1, 5 mM MgCl , and 400 micromolar each of the four deoxyribonucleotides. Ten units of Klenow DNA polymerase (Gibco BRL) were added and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 15 minutes at room temperature. The DNA was phenol extracted and ethanol precipitated as above.

DNA SEQUENCING. Sequencing was performed using the Sequenase Kit (US Biochemicals) and c³⁵S-dATP (New England Nuclear) . Reactions using both the dGTP mixes and the dITP mixes were performed to clarify areas of compression. Alternatively, compressed areas were resolved on forma ide gels. Templates were double- stranded plasmid subclones or single stranded M13 subclones, and primers were either made to the vector just outside the insert to be sequenced, or to previously obtained sequence. Sequence obtained was assembled and compared using Dnastar software. Manipulation and comparison of sequences obtained was performed with IBI

MacVector, Superclone and Supersee Align programs from Coral Software.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES. Techniques for the manipulation of bacteria and DNA, including such procedures as digestion with restriction endonucleases, gel electrophoresis, extraction of DNA from gels, ligation, phosphorylation with kinase, treatment with phosphatase, growth of bacterial cultures, transformation of bacteria with DNA, and other molecular biological methods are described (42, 43). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to introduce restriction sites convenient for the manipulation of various DNAs (44) . In general amplified fragments were less than 500 base pairs in size and critical regions of amplified fragments were confirmed by DNA sequencing. Except as noted, these techniques were used with minor variation. SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA. The general procedure for

Southern blotting was taken from Maniatis et al . (1982) and Sambrook, et.al. (1989) (42, 43). DNA was blotted to nylon membrane (Biorad Zetaprobe) in 0.4M NaOH and prehybridized for 5 minutes in a solution containing 0.25

M Na₂HP0₄, pH 7.2, 1 mM EDTA, 7% SDS at 65°C. Labeled probe was added that had been labeled by random priming using a Genius" non-radioactive labeling kit from

Boehringer-Mannheim. Hybridization was overnight at 65°C. Filters were washed twice with 40 mM Na₂HP0₄, pH 7.2, 1 mM EDTA, 5% SDS and then twice with 40 mM Na₂HP0₄, pH 7.2, 1 mM EDTA, 1% SDS for 30 minutes each at 65°C. Detection of bound probe was performed using the Boehringer Mannheim Genius" non-radioactive detection kit.

DNA TRANSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT VIRUS. The method is based upon the CaCl₂ procedure of Chen and Okayama (1987) (45) with the following modifications. Generation of recombinant ILT virus is dependent upon homologous recombination between ILT viral DNA and the plasmid homology vector containing the desired foreign DNA flanked by the appropriate herpesvirus cloned sequences. Plasmid DNA (10-40 mg) was added to 250 ml of a solution having a final concentration of 0.25 M CaCl₂.

An equal volume of a buffer containing 50 mM MOPS (pH 6.95), 280 mM NaCl, and 1.5 mM Na₂HP0₄ was added to the DNA/CaCl₂ solution. After 10 minutes at room temperature. the mixture was added dropwise to a 6 cm dish of CEK cells on maintenance media, and placed at 39°C for 4 to

5 hours. The cells were rinsed once with PBS, once with

20% glycerol in PBS for 2 minutes, rinsed again with PBS and fed with maintenance media. 1.5 ml of ILT viral stock was added to the media, and the cells were incubated overnight. The next day, fresh maintenance media was added, and the cells were incubated for two more days.

The transfection stock was harvested, aliquoted, and frozen at -70^βC.

PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING ILTV SUBGENOMIC DNA FRAGMENTS. The ability to generate herpesviruses by cotransfection of cloned overlapping subgenomic fragments has been demonstrated for pseudorabies virus (46) . If deletions and/or insertions are engineered directly into the subgenomic fragments prior to the cotransfection, this procedure results in a high frequency of viruses containing the genomic alteration, greatly reducing the amount of screening required to purify the recombinant virus. We have used the procedure of overlapping cosmids to map restriction enzyme sites.

A library of subclones containing overlapping ILTV subgenomic fragments was generated as follows. USDA ILTV

Strain 83-2 has been designated S-ILT-001. Approximately 20 μg of ILTV DNA (obtained from S-ILT-001) in 0.5 ml of 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA (TE) was sheared by passing it twice through a 25 guage needle as previously described (46) . The DNA was centrifuged through a 15-40% glycerol gradient in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.3 M NaCl for 5.5 hours at 274,000 x g. Fractions were analyzed on a 0.3% agarose gel, and those containing

DNA of 35-50 kb were pooled, diluted twofold with TE, and precipitated with one tenth volume of 3 M sodium acetate and 2.5 volumes of ethanol. The tubes were centrifuged for one hour at 109,000 x g at 10^βC . Pellets were resuspended, transferred to microfuge tubes, and precipitated with one tenth volume of 3 M sodium acetate and 2.5 volumes of ethanol. The DNA was resuspended in TE. DNA ends were made blunt ended by the POLYMERASE FILL-IN REACTION. The DNA was purified by extraction with both buffer saturated phenol and ether, precipitated with sodium acetate and ethanol as above, and resuspended in TE. Half of this material was ligated with 3 mg of vector, pSY1626, by the DNA ligation reaction. The vector used was pSY1626, which was made as follows. Cosmid pHC79 (Gibco BRL) was cut with Hlndlll and Aval to remove the tetracycline gene, and the ends were filled in with Klenow polymerase (FILL IN REACTION) . The polylinker from pWE15 (Stratagene) was ligated into this vector. The polylinker was isolated by digestion with EcόRl, the ends were filled in with Klenow polymerase (FILL IN REACTION) , and the fragment was purified on a LMP-agarose gel. DNA ligation was performed in the presence of melted agarose. The resulting cosmid, pSY1005, was modified at the EcόRl site to create pSY1626 by blunt-ended insertion of a 1.5 kb JϊiΛdlll—BaπHI fragment from pNEO (P-L Biochemicals) containing the neomycin resistance gene. pSY1626 was cut and made blunt at the BamHI site, and ligated with sheared ILTV fragments as described above. The ligation mixture was packaged using Gigapack XL (Stratagene) according to the manufacturers instructions. The packaging mixture was added to AG1 cells (Stratagene) grown in the presence of maltose, and colonies were selected on LB plates containing kanamycin. Cosmid subclones containing ILTV DNA were identified by comparing restriction enzyme maps of individual cosmid clones to each other and to ILVTV genomic DNA to obtain a contiguous sequence of ILTV genomic DNA.

SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT ILTV EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES. When the B. coll ,9-galactosidase or β- glucuronidase (uidA) marker gene was incorporated into a recombinant virus the plaques containing the recombinants were visualized by a simple assay. The enzymatic substrate was incorporated (300 μg/ml) into the ag arose overlay during the plaque assay. For the lacZ marker gene the substrate Bluogal™ (halogenated indolyl- ,9-o-galactosidase, Gibco BRL) was used. For the uidA marker gene the substrate X-Glucuro Chx (5-bromo-4- chloro-3-indolyl-,9-D-glucuronic acid Cyclohexylammonium salt, Biosynth AG) was used. Plaques that expressed active marker enzyme turned blue. The blue plaques were then picked onto fresh cells and purified by further blue plaque isolation. In recombinant virus strategies in which the enzymatic marker gene was removed, the assay involves plaque purifying white plaques from a background of parental blue plaques. Viruses were typically purified with five to ten rounds of plaque purification.

SCREEN FOR FOREIGN GENE EXPRESSION IN RECOMBINANT ILTV USING BLACK PLAQUE ASSAYS. To analyze expression of foreign antigens expressed by recombinant ILT viruses, monolayers of CEK cells were infected with recombinant ILT virus, overlaid with nutrient agarose media and incubated for 3-5 days at 39°C. Once plaques have developed, the agarose overlay was removed from the dish, the monolayer rinsed once with PBS, fixed with 100% methanol for 10 minutes at room temperature and the cells air dried. After re-hydrating the plate with PBS, the primary antibody was diluted to the appropriate dilution with PBS plus Blotto and incubated with the cell monolayer for 2 hours to overnight at room temperature.

Unbound antibody was removed from the cells by washing four times with PBS at room temperature. The appropriate secondary antibody conjugate was diluted 1:500 with PBS and incubated with the cells for 2 hours at room temperature. Unbound secondary antibody was removed by washing the cells three times with PBS at room temperature.The monolayer was rinsed in color development buffer (lOOmM Tris pH 9.5/ lOOmM NaCl/ 5mM MgC12), and incubated 10 minutes to overnight at room temperature with freshly prepared substrate solution (0.3 mg/ml nitro blue tetrazolium + 0.15 mg/ml 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphatase in color development buffer) .The reaction was stopped by replacing the substrate solution with TE (lOmM

Tris, pH7.5/ 1 mM EDTA). Plaques expressing the correct antigen stain black.

PURIFICATION OF ILTV gG FROM ILT VIRUS OR RECOMBINANT VIRUSES EXPRESSING ILTV gG. ILTV gG was purified from the media of cells infected with either wild type ILTV or with FPV or SPV vectors expressing ILTV gG. Cells were allowed to go to complete cytopathic effect (CPE) , the media was poured off, and cell debris was pelleted in a table-top centrifuge. The media was concentrated in an

Amicon concentrator using a YM30 ultrafiltration membrane at 15 psi. The concentrate was dialyzed against 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.0 and loaded onto a DEAE-Sephacel (Pharmacia) column equilibrated with the same buffer. The material was eluted using a salt gradient from 0 to 1.5

M NaCl in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.0. Three ml fractions were collected and assayed by Western blot. A peptide antibody against ILTV gG was used to identify fractions containing ILTV gG. Fractions were pooled and further concentrated in a Centricon-10 microconcentrator (Amicon) .

RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS, it will replace the DNA coding for the ILTV gl gene with DNA coding for the E. coli uidA gene. A detailed description of the plasmid is given in Figure 7. It was constructed from the indicated DNA sources utilizing standard recombinant DNA techniques (42, 43).

Example 2

S-ILT-Q04

S-ILT-004 is an infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) that has an approximately 620 base pair deletion of the thymidine kinase (TK) gene (28) . The gene for *. coll β- galactosidase (lacZ) was inserted in the place of the TK gene and is under the control of the HCMV immediate early (IE) promoter. Transcription of the HCMV IE promoter-lac

Z gene is in the opposite orientation to the TK promoter.

S-ILT-004 was constructed using homology vector 501-94 (see Materials and Methods) and S-ILT-001 (USDA ILTV Strain 83-2) in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE

FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT VIRUS. The transfection stock was screened by the Bluogal" SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES. The result of blue plaque purification was recombinant virus S-ILT- 004. This virus was characterized by restriction mapping and the SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA procedure. This analysis confirmed the presence of the β-galactosidase (lacZ) marker gene and the deletion of approximately 619 base pairs of the TK gene. The remaining TK gene sequence codes for protein including amino acids 1 to 77, and amino acids 286 to 363. The HCMV IE promoter-lacZ gene is in the opposite orientation to the TK gene transcription. S-ILT-004 is attenuated by deletion of the ILTV TK gene, but retains other genes known to be involved in the immune response in chickens to ILT virus. Therefore, S- ILT-004 may be useful as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease.

Example 3 S-ILT-009

S-ILT-009 is an infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) that has an approximately 498 base pair deletion of the ILTV US2 gene and an approximately 874 base pair deletion of the ILTV gG gene. The gene for *. coli ,9-glucuronidase (uidA) was inserted in the place of the US2 gene and is under the control of the pseudorabies virus (PRV) gX promoter.

S-ILT-009 was constructed using homology vector 544-55.12 (see Materials and Methods) and S-ILT-002 in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT VIRUS. S-ILT-002 was constructed as described in Example 5 (S-ILT-014) . The transfection stock was screened by the X-Gluc SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES. The resulting purification of a blue plaque was recombinant virus S- ILT-009. This virus was characterized by restriction mapping and the SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA procedure. This analysis confirmed the presence of the PRV gX promoter-,6- glucuronidase (uidA) marker gene and the deletion of approximately 498 base pairs of the ILTV US2 gene and an approximately 874 base pair deletion of the ILTV gG gene. However, during the Bluogal" SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT

HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES, a deletion of the HCMV IE promoter-lacZ gene was detected within the existing ILTV gG deletion. The remaining insert into the ILTV gG deletion contains approximately 2000 base pairs of DNA of which all of the lacZ gene and part of the PRV gX polyadenylation site are missing. The deletion was characterized by detailed restriction mapping and determined to be slightly different from the S-ILT-014 deletion (See Example 5) .

S-ILT-009 is attenuated by deletion of the ILTV US2 and gG genes, but retains other genes known to be involved in the immune response in chickens to ILT virus. Therefore,

S-ILT-009 is useful as an attenuated live vaccine or as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease as shown in the table. Since S-ILT-009 does not express the ILTV gG genes, it is utilized as a negative marker to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals as described previously.

S-ILT-Oil is an infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) that has an approximately 983 base pair deletion of the ILTV gl gene. The gene for *. coli β-glucuronidase (uidA) was inserted in the place of the gl gene and is under the control of the pseudorabies virus (PRV) gX promoter. The PRV gX promoter-uidA gene is in the opposite orientation to the direction of transcription of the ILTV gl promoter.

S-ILT-011 was constructed using homology vector 562-61.IF

(see Materials and Methods) and S-ILT-001 in the HOMOLOGOUS

RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT VIRUS. The transfection stock was screened by the X-Gluc SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES. The result of blue plague purification was recombinant virus S-ILT-011. This virus was characterized by restriction mapping and the SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA procedure. This analysis confirmed the presence of the -glucuronidase (uidA) marker gene and the deletion of approximately 983 base pairs of the ILTV gl gene which deletes 325 of 363 amino acid codons from the 5' end of the gl gene.

S-ILT-Oil is attenuated and is useful as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease. S-ILT-011 shows a small plaque phenotype in tissue culture which is indicative of slow viral growth and attenuation. Since S-ILT-011 does not express the ILTV gl gene, it may be utilized as a negative marker to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals. As indicated in Example 1, ILTV-infected chickens make antibodies against ILTV gl protein. Example 5 S - ILT- 013

S-ILT-013 is an infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) that has an approximately 983 base pair deletion of the ILTV gl gene and an approximately 874 base pair deletion of the ILTV gG gene (and a deletion of the HCMV IE promoter lacZ marker gene making the lacZ gene nonfunctional) . The gene for E. coli _/S-glucuronidase (uidA) was inserted in the place of the gl gene and is under the control of the pseudorabies virus (PRV) gX promoter.

S-ILT-013 was constructed using homology vector 562-61.IF

(see Materials and Methods) and S-ILT-014 in the HOMOLOGOUS

RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT VIRUS. The transfection stock was screened by the X-Gluc SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES. The result of blue plaque purification was recombinant virus S-ILT-013. This virus was characterized by restriction mapping and the SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA procedure. This analysis confirmed the presence of the 3-glucuronidase

(uidA) marker gene and the deletion of approximately 983 base pairs of the ILTV gl gene which removes 325 of 363 amino acid codons from the 5' end of the gl gene. This analysis also confirmed an approximately 874 base pair deletion of the ILTV gG gene and an approximately 1906 base pair insertion of a partial HCMV IE promoter-lacZ marker gene DNA, of which a portion of the HCMV IE promoter and almost none of the lacZ gene remains (see Example 6) .

S-ILT-013 is attenuated and is useful as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease. S-ILT-013 shows a small plaque phenotype in tissue culture which is indicative of slow viral growth and attenuation. Since S-ILT-013 does not express the ILTV gl or gG genes, ILTV gl and gG may be utilized as negative markers to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals. Example 6

S- ILT- 014

S-ILT-014 is an infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) that has an approximately 874 base pair deletion of the ILTV gG gene and a deletion of the inserted HCMV IE promoter lacZ marker gene making the lacZ gene nonfunctional. S-ILT-014 was derived from a purified S-ILT-002 virus stock in which a deletion of the HCMV IE promoter lacZ marker gene occurred.

S-ILT-002 was constructed using homology vector 472-73.27 (See Materials and Methods) and S-ILT-001 in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT VIRUS. The virus S-ILT-002 has a 874 base pair deletion within the ILTV gG gene and an insertion of the *. coli 3-galactosidase (lacZ) gene in place of the ILTV gG gene. However, during the Bluogal™ SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES, a white plaque was picked which contained a deletion of the lacZ gene within the ILTV gG deletion.

This virus, S-ILT-014, was characterized by restriction mapping, DNA SEQUENCING and the SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA procedure. This analysis confirmed the presence of an approximately 874 base pair deletion of the ILTV gG gene and approximately 1956 base pair insertion of a partial HCMV IE promoter lacZ marker gene DNA (2958 base pairs deleted) . The remaining HCMV IE promoter lacZ marker gene DNA consists of an approximately 686 base pair DNA fragment of the approximately 1154 base pair HCMV IE promoter and an approximately 1270 base pair DNA fragment containing approximately 520 base pairs of the 3010 base pair β- galactosidase (lacZ) marker gene and all of the approximately 750 base pair PRV gX polyadenylation signal. S-ILT-014 is useful as an attenuated live vaccine or as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease as indicated in the table below. Since S-ILT-014 does not express the ILTV gG gene and ILTV-infected chickens make antibodies to gG as indicated in Example 1, ILTV gG is utilized as a negative marker to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals.

S-ILT-017 is attenuated by deletion of the ILTV g60 and gG genes, but retains other genes known to be involved in the immune response in chickens to ILT virus. Therefore, S-ILT- 017 may be used as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease. Since S-ILT-017 does not express the ILTV gG or g60 genes, it is used as a negative marker to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals.

Example 9

Recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis viruses that express infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) spike and matrix protein genes.

A homology vector is used to generate ILT viruses containing the IBV Arkansas spike protein gene. The recombinant ILT virus contains a deletion of one or more ILTV genes, including gG, US2, UL47-like, and ORF4, and the insertion of two foreign genes: the E. coli 3-glucuronidase gene (uidA) and the IBV Arkansas spike protein gene. The uidA gene is under the control of the PRV gX promoter and the IBV Arkansas spike protein gene is under the control of the HCMV IE promoter.

To construct a homology vector containing the foreign genes inserted into the ILT virus, a DNA fragment containing the HCMV-IE promoter, the IBV Arkansas spike protein and the HSV-l TK polyadenylation signal is inserted into a restriction enzyme site at the position of the deletion of the ILTV gG gene in the ILTV homology vector. A DNA fragment containing the PRV gX promoter and the E. coli β- glucuronidase (uidA) gene is inserted into a unique restriction enzyme site within the ILTV homology vector. A recombinant virus is constructed by combining the final homology vector containing the IBV Arkansas spike gene and the E. coli β-glucuronidase (uidA) gene and S-ILT-001 in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT VIRUS. The transfection stock is screened by the X-Gluc SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT HERPESVIRUS EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES to detect the presence of the uidA gene and by the BLACK PLAQUE ASSAY FOR FOREIGN GENE EXPRESSION to detect the presence of the IBV Arkansas spike protein. A similar strategy is used to construct recombinant ILT viruses carrying the IBV SI protein from Arkansas, Massachusetts,or Connecticut serotypes, IBV matrix protein from Arkansas, Massachusetts, or Connecticut serotypes, and IBV nucleocapsid from Arkansas, Massachusetts, or Connecticut serotypes. The strategy is also used to construct recombinant ILT viruses carrying the Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) HN and F genes and the Infectious Bursal Disease virus (IBDV) polyprotein or portions thereof. The strategy is also used to construct recombinant ILT viruses carrying the Mareks Disease virus (MDV) gA, gD, and gB genes.

Recombinant ILT virus carrying these antigens are valuable as a multivalent vaccine to protect chickens from diseases caused by ILTV and one or more of the viruses IBV, NDV, IBDV, or MDV. Since the ILTV vaccines described here do not express ILTV gG, it is useful as a negative marker to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals.
