  • Marek's disease virus nucleotide sequence and methods of use
    Patent number: 5693530
    Abstract: A novel nucleotide sequence in the genome of Marek's disease virus (MDV) containing an open reading frame, whose expression is associated with lytic infection and tumor cell development in MDV-infected cells, is described. Also described is the use of this novel sequence for molecular diagnostics of serotype 1 MDV; and to generate a recombinant MDV by inserting one or more endogenous or exogenous genes, operably linked to a control element for expression, into a region of the MDV genome comprising the novel nucleotide sequence, wherein the insertion interrupts expression of the open reading frame.
