In order to develop a simple and safe test for the detection of vaccinated as well as wild type Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infected pigs, the modified gE gene of PRV Ea strain, obtained by cutting the 5' UTR using PCR and DNA recombinant technique, was inserted into baculovirus expression vector pFastBac 1, resulting the trans-position plamid pFE1.75. After homologous recombination, recombinant baculovirus rvBacE1.75 was gained and high level expression of glycoprotein E (gE) was observed after the infection of rvBacE1.75 to Tn-5B1-4 cells. The expression product was 80-88 kD and was specific to antisera against PRV Ea strain by Western-blotting. Purified recombinant proteins were used as an antigen in Latex Agglutination Test(gE-LAT) and the test was specific, sensitive, safe and simple.
