Chemically synthesized peptides corresponding to 2 different regions of the VP1 polypeptide of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) produced high levels of serotype-specific virus neutralizing antibody in cattle, guinea pigs and rabbits. A single inoculation of 1 of these peptides protected guinea pigs against subsequent challenge with the virulent virus.
