ABSTRACT:
A gene of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) which encodes immunogenic outer surface viral proteins has been identified through DNA sequence analysis. Fragments of the DNA have been cloned into a vector which, when placed into a host organism, expresses proteins which react with human convalescent zoster sera and with monoclonal antibodies which neutralize viral infectivity. These proteins are useful for preparation of a vaccine for VZV.
