Abstract
Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) causes an immunosuppressive and oncogenic disease in chickens and other birds. In this study, based on an infectious clone of REV, named HLJR0901, a recombinant virus containing the enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene was constructed by inserting the EGFP expression cassette downstream of the 3′ terminus of the viral env gene. An EGFP-tagged REV that stably expresses EGFP was rescued. This visible recombinant REV could contribute to the further understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in the replication and pathogenicity of REV.
