The structural and nonstructural recombinant proteins oi HSV type 1 an
d type 2 were expressed in E. coli by fusion with cro-beta-galactosida
se proteins. These proteins containing amino acid sequences of ICP4, I
CP27, ICP47, ICP22, major capsid protein and major DNA binding protein
s oi HSV types 1 and 2 reacted in immunoblotting with the correspondin
g anti-HSV sera from hyperimmune rabbits. The nonstructural recombinan
t proteins can be used for enzyme immunoassay detection oi HSV1 or HSV
2 type-specific antibodies in sera from patients with acute HSV infect
ion.
