Definitions
- the present invention relates to peptides suitable for use as vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease.
- Foot-and-mouth disease is the most important parameter to Foot-and-mouth disease.
- a polypeptide suitable for use as a vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes O and A which polypeptide presents an epitope comprising the amino acid sequence from residue 142 to residue 158 of the VP1 capsid protein of FMDV O 1 Kaufbeuren, or the corresponding sequence of another FMDV strain of serotype 0, with the proviso that the amino acid residue 148 is serine; the said polypeptide being
- a chimaeric protein comprising the sequence of a carrier protein and a foreign sequence of not more than 50 amino acid residues which comprises the sequence of a said epitope.
- the polypeptides of the invention comprise a defined antigenically effective sequence. This sequence is composed of VP1 residues 142 to 158 of FMDV O 1 Kaufbeuren (Kurz et al. Nuc.
