The precise location of B and T cell epitopes have been established in a peptide containing the major immunogenic site (residues 135-160) of FMDV strain 01 Campos (01C) VP1. The peptide (p135-160), administered free or conjugated to bovine serum albumin, induced complete protection in guinea pigs and a strong neutralizing antibody (NAb) response in cattle. Using a set of partially overlapping peptides it was shown that although several B cell epitopes were distributed along the p135-160, the residues responsible for the induction of NAb were restricted to the amino acids 135-144. In addition, bovines immunized with the p135-160 showed a strong proliferative response to this peptide but a very poor response against purified virus. Two T-epitopes were located in the 135-160 sequence: one on the region 135-144 and the other in the region 150-160. The immunodominance of these two T cell epitopes was confirmed in cattle immunized with inactivated virus vaccines.
