A 17-membered peptide corresponding to the amino acid sequence of (143-159) site of protein VP1 of A12 foot-and-mouth disease virus has been obtained by mixed anhydride method condensations of the earlier synthesized fragments. A norleucine residue has been attached, as a label, to the ends of peptides obtained. The complete deprotection was performed by hydrogenation peptides' hydrochlorides and the products were purified by HPLC. The antigenic properties of the synthesized peptides are discussed.

γδ T-cells provide immune surveillance against cancer, straddling both innate and adaptive immunity. G115 is a clonal γδ T-cell receptor (TCR) of the Vγ9Vδ2 subtype which can confer responsiveness to phosphoantigens (PAgs) when genetically introduced into conventional αβ T-cells. Cancer immunotherapy using γδ TCR-engineered T-cells is currently under clinical evaluation.

As the proportion of non-enterovirus 71 and non-coxsackievirus A16 which proportion of composition in the hand, foot, and mouth pathogenic spectrum gradually increases worldwide, the attention paid to other enteroviruses has increased. As a member of the species enterovirus A, coxsackievirus A14 (CVA14) has been epidemic around the world until now since it has been isolated. However, studies on CVA14 are poor and the effective population size, evolutionary dynamics, and recombination patterns of CVA14 are not well understood.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), caused by the FMD virus (FMDV), is a highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed livestock that can have severe economic impacts. Control and prevention strategies, including the development of improved vaccines, are urgently needed to effectively control FMD outbreaks in endemic settings. Previously, we employed two distinct strategies (codon pair bias deoptimization (CPD) and codon bias deoptimization (CD)) to deoptimize various regions of the FMDV serotype A subtype A12 genome, which resulted in the development of an attenuated virus in vitro and in vivo, inducing varying levels of humoral responses.

Coxsackievirus A12 (CVA12) is an enterovirus that has been isolated in many countries in recent years. However, studies on CVA12 are limited, and its effective population size, evolutionary dynamics and recombination patterns have not been clarified now. In this study, we described the phylogenetic characteristics of 16 CVA12 strains isolated from pediatric HFMD patients in mainland China from 2010 to 2019.

The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) leader proteinase (L) is a papain like protease that cleaves the viral polyprotein and several host factors affecting host cell translation and induction of innate immunity. Introduction of L mutations ablating catalytic activity is not tolerated by the virus, however, complete coding sequence deletion or introduction of targeted amino acid substitutions can render viable progeny. In proof-of-concept studies, we have previously identified and characterized FMDV L mutants that are attenuated in cell culture and in animals, while retaining their capacity for inducing a strong adaptive immunity.
