The YP11mu strain of a plaque-selected canine herpesvirus CHV encoded a smaller molecular weight MW of gD than those of other strains including YP2 strain Xuan et al. 1990 . When nucleotide sequence of the mutated gD of YP11mu strain gD YP11mu was compared with that of gDs of other CHV strains gD YP11mu lacked 12 nucleotides encoding 4 amino acids NKTI including one predicted potential V-linked glycosylation site and no other change was found in other regions. When the gD YP11mu and gD of YP2 strain gD YP2 expressed in COS-7 and insect Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells were compared each other both gDs reacted with a panel of monoclonal antibodies MAbs against CHV gD by indirect immunofluorescence analysis and the gD YP11mu possessed an MW of approximately 47-51 and 39-44 kDa in COS-7 and Sf9 cells respectively which were smaller than the expressed gD YP2 approximately 51-55 and 41-46 kDa respectively by immunoblot analysis. After treatment with tunicamycin the MW of both gDs in Sf9 cells became approximately 37 kDa. When hemagglutination HA test using canine red blood cells RBC were carried out lysates of Sf9 cells expressing CHV gDs agglutinated canine RBC. Serum from mice inoculated with lysates of Sf9 cells expressing the gDs possessed a high titer of virus-neutralizing VN activities against CHV. These results indicated that the deletion of 4 amino acids possessing .
