Abstract: Pseudorabies virus (PRV), a member of Herpes virus has an extremely broad range in nature and threatens the pig-industry development in our country. To explore the mechanism of nerve conduction of PRV, a virus mutant with a deletion in gE, gI and US9 genes was constructed. Plasmid of PP63 and pseudorabies virus Fa strain genomic DNA were co-transfected into BHK-21 cells by using Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent, and a recombinant virus with the deletion of gI/gE/US9 , named SA215-T, was screened and purified by plaque assay. PCR, gene sequencing. Western Blot, electron microscope and growth curve were used for identification of the deletion of genes, and features of the recombinant. The results showed that SA215-T was with effective deletion of gI and gE gene by PCR,and was absent in the expression of gE gene by Western Blot. There were no obvious differences in the morphology and growth curve of the recombinant virus as compared to its parental virus, they both achieved a high viral titer in cells.

Key words: pseudorabies virus, gI/gE/US9 gene, recombinant virus, gene deletion
