Foot-and-Mouth Disease Vaccines by Design; Production of Capsid-Modified Foot-and-Mouth Disease Viruses with Improved Cell Culture Growth

Foot-and-Mouth Disease Vaccines by Design; Production of Capsid-Modified Foot-and-Mouth Disease Viruses with Improved Cell Culture Growth Background/objectives: Vaccination is important for controlling foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in endemic regions and to lessen the effects of outbreaks in FMD-free countries. The adaptation of FMD virus to BHK cells is a necessary but time-consuming and costly step in vaccine production and can prove problemati…
