Abstract
Classical Bartha-K61 strains could not provide complete protection against the emerging highly virulent pseudorabies virus (PRV) variant strains, which has caused great economic losses to swine industry in China. In this study, a gE/gI/TK-deleted PRV vaccine strain based on a circulating PRV variant strain HeB12 was generated by serial passages in Vero cells and a lyophilized formulation was prepared as a live-attenuated PRV vaccine. Compared to commercial Bartha-K61 strains, vaccine efficacy in vivo experiments showed that the novel triple gene-deleted variant vaccine could provide complete cross-protection against the lethal challenges by the classical RA strain and variant TJ12 strain, indicating that it could be a better alternative product than the currently used Bartha-K61 strains for the control and eradication of epidemic pseudorabies in China.
