Artificially designed recombinant protein composed of multiple epitopes of foot-and-mouth disease virus as a vaccine candidate
22 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Concerns regarding the safety of inactivated foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine have been raised since it is produced from cultured live FMD virus (FMDV). To overcome this issue, recombinant protein has been studied as an alternative vaccine. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We designed a chimerical multi-epitope recombinant protein (5BT), which is comprised of tandem repeats of five B cell epitopes (residue...
