Evaluation of immune responses following infection of ponies with an EHV-1 ORF1/2 deletion mutant by Soboll Hussey Gisela, Hussey Stephen B, Wagner Bettina, Horohov David W, Van de Walle Gerlinde R, Osterrieder Nikolaus, Goehring Lutz S, Rao Sangeeta, Lunn David P

“…The ΔORF1/ORF2 virus caused significantly shorter primary pyrexia and significantly reduced nasal shedding, and an attenuated decrease in PBMC IL-8 as well as increased Tbet responses compared to WT-infected ponies. In conclusion, our findings are (i) that infection of ponies with EHV-1 leads to modulation of immune responses, which are correlated with disease pathogenesis, and (ii) that the ORF1/2 genes are of importance for disease outcome and modulation of cytokine responses.…”
