Abstract
Fragments 134-145 and 150-159 of the antigenic-region of the VP1 prote in of the A(22) foot-and-mouth disease virus were synthesized by class ic methods of peptide chemistry with isobutyl chloroformate as a coupl ing reagent. After purification by HPLG and amino acid analysis, the f ree peptides Gly-Lys-Tyr-Ser-Ala-Gly-Gly-Leu-Gly-Arg-Arg-Gly-OH and H- Leu-Ala-Ala-Arg-Val-Ala-Lys-Gln-Leu-Pro-OH were conjugated with BSA by means of N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The conjugates were used, with complete Freund adjuvant, for immunization on guinea pigs. The antibo dies formed had a virus neutralization activity.
