Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly contagious immunosuppressive disease caused by the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) that is characterized by a highly variable gene sequence and a high rate of recombination, thereby contributing to difficulties in the clinical prevention and control of this virus. Glycosylated protein 3 (GP3) is the most glycosylated protein in PRRSV, and is closely associated with the composition of PRRSV virus particles, infection, and immune evasion. This review summarizes the structural features, genetic evolutionary patterns, glycosylation of GP3 and its interactions with other PRRSV and host proteins, associations with PRRSV infection and virulence, and immunomodulatory roles. Additionally, it provides an overview of research progress on monoclonal antibodies and vaccines targeting GP3. This study aims to provide a theoretical foundation for better understanding the structure and function of GP3, of the mechanisms of PRRSV infection, and the development of novel vaccines.

期刊介绍:
Animals (ISSN 2076-2615) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves animals, including zoology, ethnozoology, animal science, animal ethics and animal welfare. However, preference will be given to those articles that provide an understanding of animals within a larger context (i.e., the animals'' interactions with the outside world, including humans). There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental details and/or method of study, must be provided for research articles. Articles submitted that involve subjecting animals to unnecessary pain or suffering will not be accepted, and all articles must be submitted with the necessary ethical approval (please refer to the Ethical Guidelines for more information).
