PEPTIDES

摘要

A peptide and veterinarily acceptable salts thereof present an amino acid sequence which is derived from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), is independent within the FMDV structure of a B-cell epitode and is capable of eliciting T-cell help in an animal susceptible to FMDV infection for production of antibody against an antigen. Optionally an amino acid in the sequence may be replaced by another amino acid which does not affect the function of the sequence to elicit T-cell help.
