Abstract: Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection can cause large-scale death in pigs and bring huge economic losses to the pig industry. The live attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines are widely used in prevention of pseudorabies in pigs. While the gene of envelope glycoprotein gC of PRV is a non-essential gene for viral proliferation, the PRV lacking of the gC gene cannot effectively adhere to the surface of the target cell. The structure and function of the envelope glycoprotein gC of PRV and its application in vaccine development were reviewed, in hoping to provide basis for the prevention and control of pseudorabies.

Key words: pseudorabies virus, envelope glycoprotein gC, vaccine
