Antibodies against a preselected peptide recognize and neutralize foot and mouth disease virus.

Abstract: A major antibody combining site on foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotype O1K has been identified in a predicted surface helix of viral protein 1 (VP1) between amino acid residues 144 and 159. A hexadecapeptide covering this sequence elicits high titers of antibodies that specifically recognize and neutralize FMDV. The high quality of the immune response is attributed to a particularly stable conformation of the antigenic amino acid sequence, which is most likely an alpha‐helix.

“…Therefore, the most likely location of the neutralization epitope defined by MAb 12FE9* is between amino acids 138 and 143 or 145 and 162. The location of this neutralization epitope on FMDV O1 Campos VP 1 is similar to the location of neutralization epitopes on VP1 from FMDV O1 Kaufbeuren (Bittle et al, 1982;Pfaff et al, 1982;Strohmaier et al, 1982) and FMDV type A12 , suggesting that this area may have similar functions in different strains and types of FMDV.…”

“…The peptide obtained (~999, 1 mg) was conjugated with keyhole limpet hemocyanin [23]. Rabbits were immunized by a 2-fold subcutaneous injection of the conjugate (500 pg) with a 2-week interval.…”

“…Antiviral responses to peptide immunogens have been extremely variable. The greatest progress has probably been achieved using peptides corresponding to the surface-exposed G-H loop of VP1 of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), which can elicit a neutralizing antibody response (Bittle et al, 1982;Pfaff et al, 1982) that is protective in target species (DiMarchi et al, 1986). Approximately 35 % of the antibodies induced by these peptides in laboratory animals also recognize virus (Parry et al, 1988) but, even so, the levels of protection attained in target species have been inconsistent.…”
