Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 29 words
A host cell transformed with a recombinant sequence of DNA basepairs comprising a sequence of DNA basepairs coding for the pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein gX or immunological fragments thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 29 words
A host cell transformed with a recombinant sequence of DNA basepairs comprising a sequence of DNA basepairs coding for the pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein gX or immunological fragments thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 50 words
A host cell of claim 1 wherein the sequence of DNA basepairs coding for the PRV glycoprotein gX or immunological fragment thereof has the following formula: or a fragment thereof encoding an immunological fragment of glycoprotein gX or a functional equivalent of said sequence of DNA basepairs or fragment thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 11 words
A host cell of claim 2 which is a bacterial microorganism.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 10 words
A host cell of claim 3 which is E. coli.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 9 words
A host cell of claim 2 which is yeast.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 11 words
A host cell of claim 2 which is an animal cell.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 11 words
A host cell of claim 6 which is a mammalian cell.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 63 words
In an immunological diagnostic method for detecting animals infected with pseudorabies virus comprising contacting serum from an animal of interest with antigen from pseudorabies virus and then detecting any antigen/antibody reaction, the improvement which comprises using as said antigen, pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gX antigen or immunological fragment(s) thereof, produced by a host cell of claim 1, and free from other pseudorabies virus antigens.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 58 words
A diagnostic kit for performing the method according to claim 8, comprising pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gX or immunological fragment(s) thereof produced by a host cell transformed with a recombinant sequence of DNA basepairs comprising a sequence of DNA basepairs coding for the pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gX or immunological fragment(s) thereof and being free from other pseudorabies virus antigens.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
A recombinant sequence of DNA basepairs comprising DNA basepairs encoding the pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein gX or an immunological fragment thereof.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 21 words
A recombinant sequence of DNA basepairs comprising DNA basepairs encoding the pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoprotein gX or an immunological fragment thereof.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 22 words
A recombinant sequence of DNA basepairs of claim 10 wherein the DNA basepairs encoding the PRV glycoprotein gX has the formula: ##STR3##
