  • Mosaic vaccines for serotype a foot-and-mouth disease virus
    Patent number: 10172933
    Abstract: Synthetic foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) mosaic polypeptides, and nucleic acid molecules encoding the mosaic polypeptides, are described. The mosaic polypeptides have greater T-cell epitope coverage than naturally occurring FMDV polypeptides, and include common FMDV epitopes, but exclude rare FMDV epitopes. When included as part of an FMDV genome, the mosaic polypeptides permit virus replication and assembly into FMDV particles. The mosaic polypeptide and nucleic acid compositions can be used to elicit immune responses that provide protection against a broad range of serotype A FMDV strains.
