FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE VIRUS (FMDV) CONSENSUS PROTEINS, CODING SEQUENCES THEREFOR AND VACCINES MADE THEREFROM

摘要

The present invention relates to synthetic, consensus foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) immunogenic proteins and nucleic acid molecule encoding such proteins, to vaccines against FMDV, to methods for inducing immune responses against FMVD, to methods for distinguishing between individuals infected with FMDV versus those vaccinated against FMDV, and methods of prophylactically and/or therapeutically immunizing individuals against FMDV.
