Novel approaches to foot and mouth disease vaccination.
In view of the problems associated with the use of conventional foot and mouth disease (FMD) vaccines, such as antigenic variability of the FMD virus, the cost of vaccination programmes and problems associated with vaccine storage, alternative approaches to the design of FMD virus are discussed. Identification of the antigenic site of the FMD virus and isolation or synthesis of the peptides which make up the antigenic site are considered for vaccine use.
