International audience. Bovine herpesvirus 1 glycoprotein D (gD) gene expression by recombinant replication defective human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV-5) was investigated in calves using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy (IIFM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and RT-PCR. One fold intranasal instillation of HAdV-5-expressing gD in the cattle upper respiratory tract showed a short term expression of at least 5 days, but not 10 days, limited only to epithelial cells localised in the epithelium of the nasal mucosa in one out of six calves. Observed limited gene transfer into well differentiated cattle airway epithelial cells must be taken into consideration in order to enhance transfection efficiency, and consequently the vaccine potential of this vector.
