    Abstract:
    A series of overlapping peptides with the sequence of the immunodominant region of VP1 protein of FMDV strain O1K have been synthesized by the classical solution method. Peptides were purified by standard methods and used for immunization of guinea pigs. It is shown that the 136-152 and 136-148 segments provide antiviral protection in guinea pigs, both in the free state and conjugated with an immunogenic carrier. Results with uncoupled peptides indicated that these segments may form not only B-, but also T-cell affecting sites.
