Capsid coding sequences of foot-and-mouth disease viruses are determinants of pathogenicity in pigs
<p>Abstract</p> <p>The surface exposed capsid proteins, VP1, VP2 and VP3, of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) determine its antigenicity and the ability of the virus to interact with host-cell receptors. Hence, modification of these structural proteins may alter the properties o...
