Abstract
A novel recombinant plasmid inserted with a herpes simplex virus gene, which comprises a plasmid vector containing a yeast DNA sequence and an Escherichia coli DNA sequence and carrying a promoter region and a herpes simplex virus gN gene (HSVgB) gene) recombined thereto under control of the promoter, said HSVgB gene lacking an N-terminal portion of the gene including a signal sequence-encoding region and optionally further lacking the region downstream therefrom, such as a gB gene lacking a DNA sequence encoding the N-terminal 30 amino acids, and a gB gene lacking a DNA sequence encoding the N-terminal 83 amino acids. The recombinant plasmid is useful for the production of transformed yeast, which is useful for the production of HSVgB proteins suitable for producing HSV vaccine and diagnostic reagents for herpes simplex virus infections.
