Title: A RECOMBINANT FUSION PROTEIN AND DNA VACCINES AGAINST FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE VIRUS TYPE ASIA 1 INFECTION IN GUINEA PIGS
Author: S. BOPEGAMAGE, M. BORSANYIOVÁ, A. VARGOVÁ, A. PETROVIČOVÁ, M. BENKOVIČOVÁ, P. GOMOLČÁK

Abstract: On the basis of amino acid (aa) sequence of the tandem repeat 133–158~20–34~133–158 which consisted of aa 133–158 of VP1 and aa 20–34 of VP4 of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type Asia 1 a recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pAS1-P encoding a fusion protein and eukaryotic expression vectors pAS1-E and pAS1-EDCpG-ODN representing DNA vaccines were constructed. Guinea pigs immunized with these vaccines showed both neutralizing antibody and T cell proliferation responses. FMDV challenge tests for the first time showed that the recombinant fusion protein and pAS1-E and pAS1-EDCpG-ODN vaccines protected 86%, 60% and 43% of guinea pigs from FMDV type Asia1 challenge, respectively. The results also indicated that the immune response of animals treated with the vector pAS1-E containing an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN), which consisted of immunostimulatory cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) motifs, was augmented by CpG ODN.
