Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) latency in murine olfactory bulbs was demonstrated by a novel combined in situ PCR and in vitro protein synthesis method (in situ PS-PCR). The Escherichia coli lacZ gene replacing a deletion in EHV-1 gene 71 (EUS4) was thus amplified and transcribed/translated in situ followed by enzymatic detection using X-Gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside). beta-Galactosidase was found to be concentrated over mitral/tufted neurons indicating those to be the sites of latency. Our results suggest that, in common with other alpha-herpesviruses, EHV-1 can establish latency in central nervous system neurons and that the unique membrane glycoprotein encoded by EHV-1 gene 71 is nonessential for infection of neural tissues.
