Rational dissection of binding surfaces for mimicking of discontinuous antigenic sites.
description:
The epitope is a construct of sequences from FMDV that form loop structures and comprise an antigenic site, including VP1 (193-195, TGD), VP3 (K84), VP3 (58-60, ENV), VP3 (Y63), VP2 (72-80,PSQNFGHMHK), and a VP2 analog (133-137, SEKDR).
Sera from guinea pigs immunized with the cyclic epitope, or the cyclic peptide with an insertion of a 6-aminohexanoic acid residue instead of Gly next to the C-terminal Cys, neutralized viral infectivity in cells. Sera from guinea pigs immunized with the cyclic epitope modified by insertion of a 6-aminohexanoic acid or beta-Ala residue next to the N-terminal Cys, were less effective at virus neutralization.
