摘要: We previously demonstrated that the immunization of cattle with a synthetic peptide representing amino acid sequence foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) type O1 Campos VP1 residues 135-160 (p135-160), containing immunodominant T B epitopes, was able to induce strong neutralizing antibody (NA) response. The epitope mapping p135-160 identified epitopes in area restricted 135-144 (Zamorano et al. 1994, Virology 201; 1995, 212). are now reporting that, although covering acids (p135-144) failed elicit an anti-FMDV response, tandem duplication (p135-144 x 2) very efficient inducing NA response cattle. Both cell responses elicited by p135-144 2 were highly specific for since no reactivity detected against peptides 140-160 VP1. Additionally, both long lasting immunized These results constitute good example improvement immune rational handling precisely epitopes. To our knowledge, this is shortest native significant FMDV
