ABSTRACT. Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) is a causative agent of feline viral rhinotracheitis and belongs to the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae of the family Herpesviridae. Since first isolated in 1958 by Crandell and Maurer, FHV-1 is distributed worldwide and is the most clinically significant agent for respiratory infections in cats. In this review, we describe the recent findings with properties and functions of FHV-1 glycoproteins, especially hemagglutinins. -KEY WORDS: feline herpesvirus type 1, glycoprotein, hemagglutinin.J. Vet. Med. Sci. 60(8): 881-888, 1998 negative staining of the virions [16,52,54,88] or ultrathin sectioning of FHV-1-infected cells [11,54], mature virus particles are 120-180 nm in diameter, with various morphologies in shapes and sizes of the envelope surrounding the hexagonal outline of the capsid. The genome of FHV-1 consists of approximately 126-134 kbp. It has a G+C content of approximately 50%. The genome is divided into two unique portions, the unique long (U L ) and unique short (U S ) regions, by inverted repeat segments (IR) (Fig. 1) [24,70]. The U L is 99-104 kbp in size and is composed of unique DNA. The adjacent short segment is approximately 27-30 kbp in size and contains a central portion of Us which is approximately 8-9 kbp in size. The Us region is bounded by inverted repeat sequences of 7-11 kbp.We have already introduced review articles on recombinant viral vector vaccines for the veterinary use [97] and molecular interactions between retroviruses and herpesviruses [30]. Therefore, this review mainly focuses on some of the recent developments regarding properties and functions of FHV-1 glycoproteins including hemagglutinin.

“…These diseases are commonly observed in laboratory cat colonies, and they cause a major impediment in experiments using cats. Several researchers have reported isolations of FHV [2,10,10,20] and FCV [6,9,18] from diseased cats in Japan . Goto et al [5] ran a serologic survey for viruses in random-source laborator cats .…”

Both the antibodies in kittens were considered to be maternally derived. The FCV antibody rate was especially high in cats weighing 2.5 kg (males) and 2 .0 kg (females) or more, which were regarded as 8 to 10 months of age. An attempt was made to isolate the viruses from the oropharynx and conjunctiva of clinically healthy mature or immature cats and kittens.As the result, either one or both of the viruses were isolated from 31 of 75 mature and immature cats, and isolation rates of FHV and FCV were 6.7 % and 36.0 %, respectively.On the other hand, no virus was detectable in 16 kittens.
