“Background Pseudorabies virus (PRV), an alpha-herpesvirus,
and the causative agent of Aujeszky’s diseases of swine [2], is a commonly used model organism for studies in pathogenesis and the molecular biology of herpesviruses. Furthermore, it is widely utilized as a neural circuit tracer Blasticidin S [[3, 4] and [5]] and has been reported tetracosactide to be suitable as a vector for gene delivery
to various cells [6, 7] and as an oncolytic agent [8]. The gene expressions of herpesviruses are currently undergoing intensive investigation in consequence of the development of new technologies allowing simultaneous analysis of the expressions of multiple genes. DNA microarray approaches have been applied for the overall analysis of herpesvirus gene expression in several studies [[9, 10] and [11]]. Microchip techniques are powerful tools that permit simultaneous measurement of the relative changes in quantity of thousands of genes of an organism, and the comparison of gene expression profiles under various circumstances. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR is a much more sensitive and accurate method, but, at least at present, it is not well suited for the analysis of large numbers of samples. The herpesvirus genome however is, within the range that can be successfully analysed with this technique [1]. The program of herpesvirus gene expression is controlled at multiple levels by complex interactions between viral and cellular factors. The lytic gene expressions of herpesviruses are strictly coordinated in a sequential cascade manner and are traditionally subdivided into immediate-early (IE), early (E) and late (L) phases. IE proteins are involved in the control of the synthesis of E and L genes.
