Definitions

  • Infectious laryngotracheitis virus is a herpesvirus that causes a respiratory illness of varying virulence in chickens.
  • Live attenuated ILTV vaccines are available to protect against the disease, but several reports have implicated vaccine viruses in the possible recurrence and spread of the disease (65 and 72), limiting vaccination to use in uninfected birds early in an outbreak.
  • the genomic organization of the ILTV virus has been studied.
  • 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 he esviruses 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.
  • 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.
  • 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. 9396 PC17US96/03916 -
  • ILTV has been analyzed at the molecular level. Restriction maps of the ILTV genome have been reported (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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a deletion in the glycoprotein G (gG) gene of the ILT virus results in an attenuated virus, which is useful as a vaccine against subsequent attack by a virulent ILTV strains.
  • a deletion in the glycoprotein I (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.
  • 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.
  • ILT virus glycoproteins Three major ILT virus glycoproteins, gB (29, 30), gC (27, 51), and g60 (34,
  • the ILTV gB gene is an essential gene and would not be appropriate as deletion marker genes.
  • 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). Therefore, the gC gene is not desirable as a deletion marker gene.
  • glycoprotein encoding genes cited above it is not known whether or not they would be suitable candidates for deletion in order to construct a recombinant ILT virus which can be used as a diagnostic vaccine.
  • 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 gene. By genetically engineering an ILT virus with a deletion in the glycoprotein G gene or the glycoprotein I gene, a ILT virus is produced which does not express any glycoprotein G or glycoprotein I. None of the prior arts teach or suggest that these two genes in the unique short region of the virus are appropriate candidates for deletion in order to create a diagnostic ILT virus vaccine. Although several of the herpesviruses have been genetically engineered, no examples of recombinant ILTV have been reported.
  • 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.
  • 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 Marek's disease virus (MDV).

  • a genomic restriction map of an Australian ILTV isolate was described by Johnson et al. (66). Using this map, Guo et al. (62) isolated and sequenced a DNA fragment from the USDA challenge strain which appeared to be derived from the unique short region. Applicants map the USDA challenge strain of ILTV, and reports characteristics of the putative genes present in the unique short region. The map disclosed herewith indicates that the sequence identified by Guo et al. (62) is part of the short repeat sequence, and is not from the unique short. Other reports (69 and 70) describe the sequences of two genes, one homologous to PRV gG and the other unlike other reported herpesvirus genes.

Description

RECOMBINANT INFECTIOUS LARYNGOTRACHEITIS VIRUS AND USES THEREOF
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Serial No. 08/126.597, filed
September 24, 1993 which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
Within 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 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.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Infectious laryngotracheitis virus is a herpesvirus that causes a respiratory illness of varying virulence in chickens. Live attenuated ILTV vaccines are available to protect against the disease, but several reports have implicated vaccine viruses in the possible recurrence and spread of the disease (65 and 72), limiting vaccination to use in uninfected birds early in an outbreak. In order to design a more efficacious, attenuated vaccine, the genomic organization of the ILTV virus has been studied.
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 he esviruses 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. 9396 PC17US96/03916 -
In chickens, no drug has been effective in reducing the 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 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 (1 1 - 21 ). Furthermore, these viruses may revert back to 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 (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).
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.
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 G (gG) gene 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 I (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 (Mr= 205 , 115 , 90K and 60K). Three glycoproteins seem to be antigenically related (Mr= 205K, 1 15K, 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 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). 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 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 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 gene. By genetically engineering an ILT virus with a deletion in the glycoprotein G gene or the glycoprotein I gene, a ILT virus is produced which does not express any glycoprotein G or glycoprotein I. None of the prior arts teach or suggest that these two genes in the unique short region of the virus are appropriate candidates for deletion in order to create a diagnostic ILT virus vaccine. Although several of the herpesviruses have been 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 Marek'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 appropriate insertion site exists.
ILTV is classified as an alpha herpesvirus with a type D genome (78) composed of a unique long region and a unique short region flanked by inverted repeats.
A genomic restriction map of an Australian ILTV isolate (SA-2) was described by Johnson et al. (66). Using this map, Guo et al. (62) isolated and sequenced a DNA fragment from the USDA challenge strain which appeared to be derived from the unique short region. Applicants map the USDA challenge strain of ILTV, and reports characteristics of the putative genes present in the unique short region. The map disclosed herewith indicates that the sequence identified by Guo et al. (62) is part of the short repeat sequence, and is not from the unique short. Other reports (69 and 70) describe the sequences of two genes, one homologous to PRV gG and the other unlike other reported herpesvirus genes. These two genes were mapped to the unique long region of SA-2.
However, these sequences are identical to sequences identified in this application as being from the unique short region. The data in this application indicate that the overall organization of the short region of ILTV is similar to other herpesviruses. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a recombinant. attenuated 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.
The present invention also provides a recombinant, 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.
The present invention also provides a method for distinguishing chickens or other poultry vaccinated with a recombinant infectious laryngotracheitis virus which produces no glycoprotein gG from those infected with a naturally- occuring infectious laryngotracheitis virus.

(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 ml 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-HCI 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 ml 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°C for 1-16 hours, followed by two extractions with phenol saturated with 100 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8. DNA in the aqueous phase was then precipitated with added 3 M sodium acetate (1/10th 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-HCI 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°C.
POLYMERASE FILL-IN REACTION DNA was resuspended in buffer containing 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 50 mM KC1, 5 mM MgCl2, 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 α35S-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 formamide gels. Templates were double-stranded plasmid subclones or single stranded Ml 3 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 Na2HPO , 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 Na,HPO4, pH 7.2, 1 mM EDTA, 5% SDS and then twice with 40 mM Na2HPO4, 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 CaCl*,. An equal volume of a buffer containing 50 mM MOPS (pH 6.95), 280 mM NaCl, and 1.5 mM Na,HPO4 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°C.
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. The procedure of overlapping cosmids to map restriction enzyme sites was employed.
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 396 PC17US96/03916
-34-
10 mM Tris-HCI 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-HCI 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°C . 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 Hindlll 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 EcoRI, 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 EcoRI site to create pSY 1626 by blunt-ended insertion of a 1.5 kb Hindlll — βαmHI fragment from pNΕO (P-L Biochemicals) containing the neomycin resistance gene. pSY1626 was cut and made blunt at the βαmHI 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 AGl 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 396 PC17US96/03916
-35- genomic DNA.
SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT ILTV EXPRESSING ENZYMATIC MARKER GENES. When the E. coli β-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 agarose overlay during the plaque assay. For the lacZ marker gene the substrate Bluogal™ (halogenated indolyl-β-D-galactosidase, Gibco BRL) was used. For the uidA marker gene the substrate X-Glucuro Chx (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-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-HCI, 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-HCI, 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).
GROWTH OF CHICKEN KIDNEY CELLS AND ILT VIRUS. An ILTV virus, designated fowl laryngotracheitis challenge virus, lot number 83-2, was obtained from the National Veterinary Services Laboratories, USDA/APHIS, Ames, Iowa. ILTV viruses were grown in primary chicken kidney cells (CK) obtained by dissection of kidneys from 6-9 day old SPF chicks, obtained from Hy-Vac Laboratory Eggs Co. Fresh kidney cells were minced and disassociated with 5 mg/ml trypsin and were then pelleted and resuspended at 1.3 x 106 cells/ml. Growth media (GM) was IX Eagle's Basal Medium (modified) with Hank's salts, with added 10% binary ethyleneimine-treated fetal bovine serum
(FBS), 2 mM glutamine. 200 units/ml penicillin, 200 mg/ml streptomycin, and 8.9 mM sodium bicarbonate (85). After resuspension, cells were plated and incubated at 39°C. Cells were rinsed and fed after 24 hours with maintenance media (MM), which is GM with 1% FBS. CKs were inoculated with ILTV at 0.01 to 0.1 MOI and viral stocks were harvested 4-5 days later by scraping and sonicating. Titers were typically 105- 10° pfu/ml.
PREPARATION OF VIRAL DNA. Cells and media from infected flasks were pelleted at 1700 g for 5' at 4'C. Supernatant and cell pellet were initially treated separately. Virion particles were centrifuged out of the supernatant at 23,500 g for 30 minutes. The original cell pellet was rinsed with PBS and spun again. This pellet was resuspended in 1 ml flask of a buffer containing 10 mM
Tris-HCI pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, and 1.5 mM MgCl2 and incubated 15', 4*C. To this was added 25 μl/flask of 20% NP40, and the mixture was dounce homogenized using an A pestle. The preparation was centrifuged at 1700 g, 10', 4"C, and the supernatant was retained and the pellet discarded. To the supernatant was added (per original flask) 10 μl of 0.5 M EDTA, 50 μl of 20%
SDS, and 25 μl of 10 mg/ml proteinase K. This mixture was used to resuspend the pellet of viral particles obtained by high speed centrifugation of the first supernatant. The mixture was treated at 65*C for 1-16 hours, extracted twice with buffer-saturated phenol, and precipitated with added salt and ethanol. The resulting DNA pellet was resuspended in 100 μl TE/flask. This was treated further to remove RNA with pancreatic RNase A, followed by phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation to obtain the DNA.
CREATION OF THE COSMID LIBRARY. The cosmid library of ILTV DNA was created following the protocol of van Zijl et al., (83). Approximately
20 μg of ILTV DNA in 0.5 ml of 10 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA (TE) was sheared by passing it twice through a 25 gauge needle. The DNA was centrifuged through a 15-40% glycerol gradient in 50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.3 M NaCl for 5.5 h at 274,000 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 added salt and ethanol. The tubes were spun 1 h at 10°C and 109,000 g. Pellets were resuspended and reprecipitated with added salt and ethanol. The DNA was resuspended in TE and the ends were made blunt by treatment with T4 DNA polymerase for 2 h at 15"C, in the presence of appropriate buffer and 25 μM dNTP. followed by treatment with Klenow polymerase for 16 h at 15°C using 0.25 mM dNTP. The DNA was extracted with phenol and then ether, precipitated with added salt and ethanol. and resuspended in TE. This material was ligated overnight with 3 μg of cosmid vector pSY1626. Cosmid pSY1626 was made by digesting cosmid pHC79 (BRL) with Hindlll and Aval to remove the tetracycline gene. The remaining fragment and the EcoRI digested polylinker from pWΕ15 (Stratagene) were filled in with Klenow polymerase and ligated together. The resulting cosmid vector, pSY1005, was modified at the EcoRI site to create pSY1626 by blunt-ended insertion of a 1.5 kb H/willl-βαmΗI fragment from pNΕO (P-L Biochemicals) containing the kanamycin resistance gene. PSY1626 was cut and made blunt at the βα ΗI site for use as the cosmid vector. The ligation mixture was packaged using Gigapack XL (Stratagene) according to the manufacturer's directions. Colonies were selected on LB plates containing kanamycin.
SEQUENCING. Manual sequencing was performed using 35S-dATP (NEN) with the BRL Sequenase Kit which uses the dideoxyribonucleotide chain termination method described by Sanger et al. (80). Reactions using both dGTP and dITP mixes were performed to clarify areas of compression.
Alternatively, compressed areas were resolved on 8% acrylamide gels that were
40% in formamide. Automatic fluorescence sequencing was performed using an Applied Biosystems (AB1) 373A DNA Sequencer. Subclones were made to facilitate sequencing. Internal primers were synthesized on an ABI 392 DNA synthesizer. Sequence was obtained for both strands and was assembled using

S-ILT-004
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 E. coli β-galactosidase (lacZ) was inseπed 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 DNA TRANSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT 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 E. coli β-glucuronidase (uidA) was inseπed 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 DNA TRANSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT 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-β-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 inseπ into the ILTV gG deletion contains approximately 2000 base pairs of DNA of which all of the lacZ gene and pan 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-01 1
S-ILT-011 is an infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) that has an approximately 983 base pair deletion of the ILTV gl gene. The gene for E. coli β-glucuronidase (uidA) was inseπed 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 562-61.1 F (see Materials and Methods) and S-ILT-001 in the DNA TRANSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT 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-01 1. This virus was characterized by restriction mapping and the SOUTHERN BLOTTING OF DNA procedure. This analysis confirmed the presence of the β-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-01 1 is attenuated and is useful as a killed vaccine to protect chickens from ILT disease. S-ILT-01 1 shows a small plaque phenotype in tissue culture which is indicative of slow viral growth and attenuation. Since S-ILT-01 1 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 β-glucuronidase (uidA) was inseπed 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 DNA TRANSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT VIRUS. The transfection stock was screened by the X- Glue 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 β-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 inseπion of a partial HCMV IE promoter-lacZ marker gene DNA. of which a poπion 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 inseπed 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 DNA TRABSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT VIRUS. The virus S-ILT-002 has a 874 base pair deletion within the ILTV gG gene and an inseHion of the E. coli β- 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.

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 inseπion of two foreign genes: the E. coli β-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 inseπed into the ILT virus, a DNA fragment containing the HCMV-IE promoter, the IBV
Arkansas spike protein and the HSV-1 TK polyadenylation signal is inseπed 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 inseπed 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 DNA TRANSFECTION FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT ILT 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 poπions 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.

A Genomic Map of Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus and the Sequence and Organization of Genes Present in the Unique Shoπ Region
A cosmid library of the ILTV genome was created to facilitate restriction endonuclease mapping. Forty-three overlapping cosmids were analyzed by digestion with Asp7l &l and Notl. Asp7lSl was known to cut the genome relatively infrequently (63), and it was found that Notl cut the genome less than ten times, which enabled cutting the vector away from the ILTV DΝA inseπ. Comparison of these cosmid digests allowed the order of the Asp7181 fragments covering 85% of the ILTV genome to be determined (Figure 12). On the long end of the genome, seven cosmids were identified which all contained a Notl site 0.9 kb from the end of the cloned insert; all other cosmid inserts had heterogeneous ends from shearing. This 0.9 kb fragment was used as a probe (PI in Figure 12) to genomic ILTV digested with s/?718I. Notl, or βαmHI: the sizes of the genomic fragments that hybridized were identical to the size of the fragments excised from the cloned cosmid insert, indicating that the cloned insert extended all the way or very close to the end of the unique long. The 0.9 kb fragment did not hybridize to other bands in the ILTV digest, consistent with previous reports that this virus resembles PRV, and contains no long repeat
(66). Once the cosmid clones were ordered, the restriction sites for a more frequent cutting enzyme. βαmHI, were mapped.
The resulting map indicated that the cosmid library did not include clones from the unique short portion of the genome. Cosmids spanning the unique short region of HVT (76) and PRV (83) have been found to be underrepresented in cosmid libraries. The Asp7l%l fragments found in the cosmid clones with an
Asp7l %l digest of wild type ILTV and identified fragments of 8.0, 5.1, and 2.5 kb which were not represented in the cosmid library (Figure 13) were compared. These fragments were cloned into plasmids and hybridized to each other and to ILTV digested with βαmHI. The Asp7l%l 2.5 and 8.0 kb fragments cross-hybridized, indicating that they contained sequence repeated in both clones. Fine mapping of the Asp7l l 2.5 and 8.0 kb fragments showed them to contain 2.1 kb of identical sequence. Hybridization to ILTV digested with βαmHI identified βαmHI bands of 7.5, 6.5, and 4.5 kb which overlapped the Asp7 %l fragments. These βαmHI fragments were cloned and analyzed by restriction digestion and hybridization. This allowed the map of the entire unique short region and some of the flanking short repeat to be elucidated (Figure 13). Subclones of this region were made, and the entire unique short region was sequenced.
To complete the genomic map, the map searched for an Asp7l Sl or βαmHI fragment that spanned the region between the short repeat sequences of the 8.0 or 2.5 kb ^45f>7181 fragments mentioned above and the unique long region identified in the cosmid map. A 10 kb Notl fragment from the rightmost end of cosmid D5 (Figure 12) was hybridized to genomic ILTV digests on Southern blots. Interestingly, ladders of hybridizing bands were seen when the enzymes βαmHI, Notl, and Asp7l%l were used. The bands corresponding to these ladders were not generally visible in ethidium bromide stained gels. Subsequent subcloning and mapping of the 10 kb D5 fragment indicated that it contained up to 5 repeats of an 856 bp segment, and that the cosmid insert ended within a repeat motif. HmdIII, which cuts once within the repeat, was used to clone the 856 bp fragment. When this fragment (Figure 12, P2) was used to probe ILTV digested with Sfi , Notl, Asp7 %l, and βαmΗI, ladders of hybridization were again seen (Figure 14). These ladders arise from varying numbers of the 856 bp repeat in different viral molecules. Sfil cuts only once in this ILTV strain, and a ladder at very high molecular weight can be seen. Because the unique short is expected to invert, two overlapping Sfil ladders containing the unique short and terminal repeat (TR,) should be present.; however, the bands are too large in this region to make this distinction. Notl and Asp7 l cut further away from the repeat, generating ladders beginning at 10.5 or 12 kb. The Asp7l %l digest should generate two overlapping ladders, because one fragment is bounded by an .4sp7181 site in the unique long, while the other is bounded by the end of the TR,. In contrast, only one ladder should be generated by the ΛOtI digest. Comparison of Figure 14 lane c (Notl) with lane d {Asp7 <il) does suggest that in lane d a second ladder is superimposed on the first, starting somewhat higher. βαmΗI cuts close to the repeated region, and a ladder beginning at 3.4 kb is found. HmdIII cuts within the repeat and generates a strongly hybridizing 856 bp band, as well as the two flanking H dlll fragments of about 1.1 and 2.5 kb. which each contain a portion of the repeated sequence. The presence of this 856 bp repeat accounted for the occasional observation of very fine submolar bands in ethidium bromide-stained Asp7l%[ digests. It also accounted for the lack, in ethidium bromide-stained gels, of a molar or half-molar quantity Asp7 81 or βαmΗI band greater than 10 kb, which was expected to span this region based on analysis of the cosmid clones. Instead, because of the presence of the 856 bp repeat, this band exists as many submolar bands comprising the ladder. As can be seen in the βαmΗI digest, there can be thirteen or more repeats of the region. Comparison of the repeat sequence to the sequence submitted to GenBank by Johnson et al. (67) indicated that it corresponded (99% identity) to nucleotides 1140 to 1996 of their sequence, which is a region just upstream of the ILTV ICP4 gene. The relationship of the repeat to the surrounding sequence is depicted in Figure 15. Restriction digests indicate that the region to the right of the repeat as shown is similar in the two strains: however, the position of the BamΗI site indicated to the left of the repeat differs between them.
To identify the remainder of the short repeat from the 856 bp repetitive region to the βαmΗI fragments used for sequencing the unique short, the 8.0 kb Λsp718I fragment containing part of the short repeat was used as a probe to a second cosmid library of ILTV. One cosmid, clone 2F12. hybridized to the probe. Restriction endonuclease analysis of 2F12 and comparison to the cosmid map indicated that it was not a single contiguous cosmid, but was composed of two large non-contiguous fragments (see Figure 12). The break in the rightmost fragment was within a repeat of the 856 bp region. This fragment included at least two 856 bp repeats, and extended 4.6 kb through the remainder of the short repeat into the unique short.
To identify the end of the TR., the 6.6 kb Notl fragment spanning the unique long and the short internal repeat (IR,) (P3 in Figure 2) was used as a probe.
It was noted that a 2.9 kb Notl fragment seen in gels stained with ethidium bromide was not represented in the restriction endonuclease map, and considered that it might represent the end of the TR,. Hybridization of a Notl digest of ILTV with P3 indicated that this was indeed the case (Figure 16). The 2.9 kb Notl band hybridizes, as does the 6.6 kb band corresponding to the probe. In the βαmHI digest, the predicted 13 kb fragment containing a portion of the IR, and a 3.5 kb fragment corresponding to the end of the TR, are evident. In the Aspl 81 digest, an overlapping 2.7 kb fragment from the unique long hybridizes, and the high molecular weight ladder described previously was seen.
Sequencing of the ILTV unique short and flanking region identified nine open reading frames in the unique region and two (duplicated) in the repeat region as diagrammed in Figure 13 (SEQ UD ΝO:59). Comparison of the proteins encoded by these ORFs to the GenBank database (BLAST homology seacrh. National Center for Biological Information, NCBI) demonstrated identity for most of the potential proteins with other known heφesvirus gene products.
Table V summarizes the closest homologies found for each gene and gives the probability scores for those homologies as generated by the search program. ORF2 (SEQ ID NO:63), the protein kinase (PK) gene (SEQ ID NO:63), is the most highly conserved of the ILTV ORFs to its heφes homologues. In contrast, the glycoprotein genes are less conserved. It should be noted that portions of the sequences of the ILTV protein kinase, gG, and ORF 5 genes have been published (69, 70 and 81 ); however, these genes were mapped to the unique long region. A description of each of the nine unique short genes and the two genes in the flanking short repeat follows.
The first open reading frame in the unique short encodes a 229 aa protein showing identity to other heφesvirus US2 proteins (SEQ ID NO:62). Like other US2 genes, it is in the opposite orientation to the remaining ORFs in the unique short. The coding sequence of the gene ends just within the unique short region, and a potential poly-A addition site is found 115 bases downstream in the short repeat. Two possible TATA promoters are found 37 and 70 bases upstream from the initiation codon. ORF2 encodes a protein kinase with strong identity to many other heφesvirus protein kinases and to cellular protein kinases . The organization of the US2 and PK genes, with their 5' ends close together and their promoters possibly overlapping, is similar to that found in other heφesviruses. Two TATA sequences are present 14 and 49 bases upstream of the PK staπ codon, and two polyadenylation signals are found, one immediately after the stop codon. and one 50 bases downstream.
ORF3 encodes a 623 aa protein with similarity to the heφes simplex virus
UL47 gene (SEQ ID NO:64). The program comparing this protein with other UL47 proteins projects a poor probability score for this homology. However, at least one of the regions of identity between ILTV and HSV UL47 corresponds to a region that is conserved among other heφesvirus UL47 homologues, suggesting that this identity is significant (Figure 17).
Additionally, it should be noted that equally poor probability scores for homology generated by comparisons of the gG or gl genes are also seen for certain homologue pairings, suggesting that these scores are not sufficient for determining homology. It is interesting that the ILTV UL47 gene, normally found in the unique long region of other heφesviruses, appears to have been transposed into the unique shoπ in ILTV.
The fourth open reading frame encodes a 292 aa glycoprotein homologous to PRV gG (SEQ ID NO:65). Four N-linked glycosylation sites with the consensus sequence NXT or NXS are present. The protein has a signal sequence of 26 aa. which could be cleaved at G/AP, but lacks a transmembrane anchor. It is therefore likely that this protein is secreted, similar to other herpesvirus gG homologues. This gene has a consensus TATA sequence 83 bases upstream from the ATG start, and has two potential polyadenylation sites 73 and 166 bases downstream from the stop codon.
ORF5 could encode a protein of 985 amino acids (SEQ ID NO:66). A hydrophobic signal sequence is found at the amino terminus, and a hydrophobic sequence is present at the carboxy terminus. Nine glycosylation sites are found, suggesting that this is a glycoprotein. ORF 5 contains an imperfect repeat, consisting of 30 to 36 bp repeated approximately 23 times from amino acid 431 to amino acid 677. The hydrophilic amino acid consensus sequence created by this repeat is FTQTPSTEPET/A. Comparison of ORF 5 with other heφesvirus sequences (Table V) shows similarity to the glycoprotein product from the equine heφesvirus 1 US5 gene (EUS5, 82). The low probability score for this identity arises primarily from the fact that both genes contain threonine-rich repeats. It is not clear whether this reflects homology in form, function, or both. Both the EUS5 and the ILTV ORF 5 genes are large, have similar positions among flanking genes in the unique shoπ, have signal sequences, and encode glycoproteins. but other sequence similarities are not seen. It is interesting that the ORF 5 repeat region shows similarity to mucin genes, which also contain threonine rich repeats. The human mucin gene, for example, has the repeat GTOTPTTTPITTTTTVTPTPTPT. where 7 of the first 11 amino acids are identical to the ORF 5 repeat sequence. Again, whether this reflects a similarity in function of the encoded proteins is unclear. A TATA sequence is found 560 bases upstream of the staπ codon; the nearest consensus polyadenylation signal is at the end of the gl gene. This suggests that the ORF
5 transcript may be coterminal with the gD transcript.
The open reading frame for the gD homologue (ORF 6) (SEQ ID NO:67) overlaps the end of ORF 5. Four in-frame methionines are found within the first 58 amino acids of the open reading frame, and it is not clear which is the actual translational staπ codon. Because a potential TATA promoter sequence is located only 6-9 bases upstream from the first possible ATG codon, this codon would probably not be within RNA transcribed from this promoter; however, there are several TATA sequences further upstream that may also be used to initiate transcription. The other three potential initiation codons are found at aa 23, 47, and 58 within this ORF. Comparison of the sequences surrounding the four ATGs with the eukaryotic translational initiation consensus sequence A/GCCATGG (71) suggests that the latter two ATG codons may be preferred translational staπ sites. The protein sequences derived from each of these starts were examined for the presence of eukaryotic signal sequences and signal cleavage sites. A start at aa 58 within the ORF would result in a signal peptide of 26 amino acids with a predicted cleavage site between two alanine residues. This same signal sequence would be positioned much further from the amino terminus and embedded in a more hydrophilic sequence if the other start sites were used. The start of ILTV gD was tentatively assigned to position 58, which would result in a protein 377 amino acids long. Of course, it is possible that more than one initiation codon is used in vivo. Experiments of Zelnik et al. (88) suggest that alternate in-frame ATG codons are used to initiate MDV and HVT gD transcription in vitro, though the in vivo situation was not addressed. Additional experiments on gD transcription and translation in ILTV are necessary to identify its translational start codon.
The ILTV gD homologue has a secretory signal sequence and a transmembrane helix (aa 352 - 372) at the carboxy terminus. Only one potential glycosylation site is found at position 250-252; this is of the form NPS, and may not be glycosylated due to the proline residue. There is some question, therefore, as to whether processed ILTV gD contains N-linked oligosaccharides. This would be similar to the gD homologue in pseudorabies virus, gp50, which also lacks N-linked glycosylation sites (75). As in other heφesviruses, the gD coding sequence lacks a poly-A addition signal immediately following the gene, and the closest signal is at the end of the gl gene.
The seventh open reading frame encodes a protein of 362 aa and is most homologous to varicella zoster virus glycoprotein I (SEQ ID NO:68). The encoded protein shows all the characteristics of related gl glycoproteins, including a signal sequence with a potential cleavage site at positions 22 and 23 between a glycine and an isoleucine, a transmembrane helix at the carboxy terminus from 272 - 292. and four possible N-linked glycosylation sites. A TATA sequence is present 51 bases upstream from the methionine staπ codon. Two possible poly-A addition signals are found within the coding sequence for ILTV gl, and may be the signals used by the gD and ORF 5 transcription units upstream.
The gE gene (ORF 8) follows the gl. This gene is 499 aa long, and contains four N-linked glycosylation sites (SEQ ID NO:69). A signal sequence of 18 amino acids is present, and there are two and possibly three membrane- associated helices in the carboxy terminal poπion of the protein. The gE gene has a TATA box 86 bases upstream of the staπ codon, and a potential poly-A addition signal just prior to the 3' end of the coding region. This may serve as the polyadenylation site for the gl gene.
The ninth open reading frame extends across the junction of the unique shoπ and the shoπ repeat, and could encode a protein of 260 amino acids (SEQ ID NO:70). This protein has no signal sequence or membrane anchor, but has one possible N-linked glycosylation site. In a search of GenBank, some similarity is found between this protein and BLRF2 of EBV, but the significance of this similarity is unknown. The poly-A addition signal in the shoπ repeat may be utilized by this gene. A potential TATA sequence is found 178 bases upstream of the first ATG of this ORF.
The first open reading frame in the shoπ repeat (SRORF1) (SEQ ID NOs: 61 and 71) encodes a 294 aa protein which displays homology to the gene product of MDV SORF3 (79 and 84) and HVT ORF3 (87). In MDV and HVT, the corresponding gene is found as one copy in the unique shoπ, and its function is unknown. No homology has been identified with mammalian heφesviruses; this gene appears to be specific to avian heφesviruses. MDV SORF3 has been deleted by Parcells et al. (74), and does not appear to be absolutely required for infection in chickens.
SRORF2 encodes a protein of 278 amino acids with homology to other heφesvirus US 10 genes (SEQ ID NOs:60 and 72). A zinc finger motif, found in the EHV-4 US 10, is highly conserved in the ILTV US 10 (amino acids 201- 218); this suggests that the ILTV US 10 gene is a DNA binding protein. Regulatory sequences include a poly-A addition signal 163 bp after the stop codon; it is unclear where the promoter for this gene resides.
Discussion:
The organization of the genes in the unique shoπ region of ILTV is similar to that seen in other heφesviruses. Several genes encoding glycoproteins are present, and the order of these genes is similar to that seen in equine heφesvirus 1, paπicularly with respect to ORF 5. Similarities to avian heφesviruses are also evident in the presence of the avian-specific gene. SRORF1, and its position relative to US2 and PK, though it differs from HVT and MDV in that it is in the shoπ repeat and is duplicated, also appearing downstream from the ORF 9 gene. The PK gene itself has the most identity to MDV and HVT PK genes; however, other genes are found to be more like their homologues in diverse heφesviruses such as EHV, PRV, and SHV SA8. Unusual characteristics of the ILTV unique shoπ are the inclusion of a gene normally found in the unique long, the UL47 homologue, and the presence of the unique gene. ORF 5, which contains a set of degenerate repeats.
This analysis of the structure of ILTV disagrees with previous repoHs. Comparison of the sequences described here with those of the Australian ILTV isolate SA-2 indicates that a 32 kd protein described by Kongsuwan et al. (70) is almost identical to the gG in this application, and the sequenced fragment of the g60 protein presented by Kongsuwan et al. (69) is part of the ORF 5 gene in this application. However, they identified the 5 kb Asp7l%l fragment containing both of these genes as coming from the unique long region of SA-2 (66). Recently, Guo et al. (62) reported the sequence of a region from the USDA challenge strain which they ascribed to the unique short on the basis of comparison to the map presented by Johnson et al. (66). No identity was foimd between this sequence and the unique short sequence described here. Instead, the sequence described by Guo et al. (62) shows 98% identity to a sequence recently submitted to GenBank by Johnson et al. (67 and 68). which is reported to encode the ICP4 gene of ILTV. The βαmHI sites within the ICP4 coding region generate two contiguous fragments of 1.2 and 1.7. kb (see Figure 15). In the map described here, two contiguous βαmHI fragments of this size are found within the short repeats (Figure 12). In addition, the 856 bp repeat element, which is found just upstream of the ICP4 gene (Figure 15), was mapped in this application within the short repeats. This indicates that the ICP4 gene in the strain used in these studies is present in the IR, and the TR,. It is possible, but unlikely, that the Australian SA-2 vaccine strain underwent an unusual rearrangement which altered the relationship of the imique long, unique short, and short repeat. However, Guo et al. (62) used the same challenge strain as the one described in this application, and the sequence they reported is not in the unique short, but in the short repeats, similar to the ICP4 genes of other heφesviruses.
The gene encoded by ORF 5 contains threonine rich, degenerate repeats. These are similar in composition and in their repetitive nature to repeats found in mucin genes. This repeated region in mucin is modified by O-linked oligosaccharides and is highly hydrophilic. It is interesting to speculate on what the function of this somewhat similar region might be in infection, if it is expressed in toto in ILTV. At least a portion of this gene is known to be expressed, as Kongsuwan et al. (69) cloned and sequenced a fragment from it by probing a lambda gtl l library with a monoclonal antibody that was known to bind to a 60 kd ILTV protein (g60) on Western blots (86). The relationship of such a 60 kd protein to the predicted 985 aa product from ORF 5 is unknown. Comparison of the application sequence with the complete sequence of the g60 coding region (81 ) shows a 98.5% homology between the SA-2 strain and the USDA strain. Interestingly, there is an insertion of a block of 10 amino acids in g60 relative to the ORF 5 protein; this difference reflects one additional degenerate repeat sequence in the SA-2 strain. As mentioned above, Kongsuwan et al. (70) described an ILTV gene that encoded a 32 kd protein with similarity to PRV gG. A comparison of the ILTV gG protein sequence described in this application with their 32 kd protein found 10 amino acid differences in the first 273 residues of the protein. At amino acid 274, a deletion of one base pair in SA-2 relative to the USDA strain created a frame shift, such that 19 additional residues were found in the challenge strain as opposed to 26 in SA-2. A peptide was made from the carboxy terminal sequence elicited antisera in mice which reacted with ILTV gG; this indicates that the sequence described in this application reflects the actual carboxy terminus in the USDA strain. A similar situation was found when the ILTV gD protein described in this application was compared with the ILTV gD sequence submitted to GenBank by Johnson et al. (68). Ten differences were found in the first 419 amino acids, after which a deletion of a base in the SA-2 strain relative to the the sequence described in this application caused the predicted carboxy termini to differ, with 15 more amino acids in the USDA strain and 9 in SA-2. These differences could arise from errors introduced during cloning and sequencing of these genes. It is also possible that the carboxy termini of the ILTV gG and gD genes are variable between these strains.
The 856 bp repeat unit identified within the short repeat is just upstream of the ICP4 gene described by Johnson et al. (67), but, from the sequence alone, it does not appear to be repetitive in the SA-2 strain. The βαmHI fragment containing this repetitive region is 2848 bp long in SA-2. The smallest repeat, seen faintly in the βαmHI ladder of Figure 14, is 3.4 kb long. This is not quite large enough to include two repeats, and suggests that other alterations between the two strains may exist in this region. A repeat of this sort has not been previously described for this or other ILTV strains, though the submolar nature of the bands may have obscured its presence. The appearance of the ladder is reminiscent of defective interfering particles, but it is not believed that this represents a case of defective interfering particles in the viral stock used here. Several reasons for this follow. 1) Defective interfering particles are generally found when viruses are passaged at high multiplicity, and the ILTV viral stocks of this application were passaged at low multiplicity. In fact, viral stocks originating from a single picked plaque exhibited similar ladders when their DNA was subjected to Southern blot analysis, suggesting that a single viral particle containing a set number of repeats could regenerate the full range of the ladder after being grown for a shoπ period of time. 2) If populations of defective interfering panicles were present, one might expect to encounter digest fragments that would not be accommodated in the linear viral map (see. for example, 77), yet all but one of the cosmids analyzed make a contiguous map, with Asp7l %l bands identical to those present in genomic ILTV digests.
The exception. 2F12. was unusual in being the only one of several hundred cosmid clones screened which contained pan of the unique shoπ. This probably represented an aberrant cloning event, and not a widespread phenomenon related to defective viral panicles. 3) Defective interfering panicles often are present in larger molar amounts than standard viral particles, such that restriction fragments originating from the defective particles are overrepresented. In contrast, the bands of the 856 bp ladder are submolar, and are only rarely visible in ethidium bromide stained gels. 4) Defective interfering particles contain origins of replication. The 856 bp repeat itself does not contain a herpesvirus origin of replication as defined by the consensus sequence of Baumann et al. (59). From these considerations it was concluded that varying numbers of 856 bp units are present in the short repeats of standard viral DNA from the USDA challenge strain of ILTV. Since fragments exist that contain thirteen or more repeats of the region, genomic DNA from ILTV could vary by over 1 1 kb in the short repeat regions. Repetitive regions have been identified in other heφesviruses; for example, Marek's disease virus contains a 132 bp repetitive sequence in the long repeat regions (61 and 73) and expansion of this repeat is associated with reduction of viral oncogenicity. The presence of the 856 bp tandem repeats in ILTV, in contrast, does not appear to affect viral pathogenicity, since this strain does cause severe clinical disease in chickens. It would be interesting to examine other ILTV strains for the presence of this repeat. Table V indicates the ORFs of the ILTV unique shoπ and the HSV nomenclature for these genes, in those cases where homology is found. The third column shows the best matches from the Blast homology search (NCBI). and the probability scores assigned by the program for the matches indicated. Smaller numbers indicate less likelihood that the match could occur randomly.
A genomic map of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) and a 18.912 bp sequence containing the entire unique short region and a poπion of the flanking short repeats is presented. In determining the genomic map, an 856 bp region repeated as many as 13 times was identified within the short repeats. The unique short sequence contains 9 potential open reading frames (ORFs). Six of these ORFs show homology to other known herpesvirus unique short genes. Using the heφes simplex virus nomenclature, these genes are the US2. protein kinase, and glycoproteins G, D, I, and E (SORFs 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8, respectively). Interestingly, an open reading frame with homology to HSV-1
UL47 (SORF 3) is found in the unique shoH. One very large open reading frame (ORF 5) is present and contains a threonine rich, degenerate repeat sequence. This gene appears to be unique to ILTV among sequenced heφesviruses. Two ORFs were identified within the short repeat region. SRORF1 is homologous to a gene (SORF3) found in the unique short region in both MDV and HVT. and appears to be specific to avian heφesviruses. SRORF2 has homology to HSV US 10.
