Abstract
We found that the open reading frame of 1053 nucleotides within the sh ort unique sequence of Marek's disease virus (MDV) type1 (MDV1) expres ses a 40 kDa protein, using a baculovirus vector in insect cells. Mous e antisera against the 40 kDa protein reacted with a 40 kDa protein in MDV1-infected cells. A cross-reactive polypeptide of 37 kDa was also detected in cells infected with herpesvirus of turkey.
