Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on infectious and immune activity of coxsackievirus group B (CVB) was described. CVB was completely inactivated at 230 MPa pressure and -16 degrees. The inactivated viruses remained highly immunogenic and induced CVB-specific serum antibody at a concentration as low as 1:1 500. 67% mice vaccinated with the pressurized viruses survived the challenge of fatal dose of CVB. These results indicated that the pressurized CVB induced immune reactions to protect mice from the viruses, and would be a potential vaccine candidate for human myocarditis.

Enteroviruses (EV) are a highly diverse group of viruses multiplying primarily in the gastrointestinal tract and/or the upper respiratory tract, initially distributed in two separate genera: Enterovirus and Rhinovirus, respectively. According to the similarities in genome organization and particle structure, rhinovirus species were later reclassified as also belonging to genus Enterovirus. Human EV infections are usually asymptomatic or causing mild clinical manifestations.
