Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007052238A2] The invention provides a chimeric antigen which includes an orbivirus VP7 polypeptide with a foreign peptide inserted into a top domain region of said orbivirus VP7 polypeptide. The chimeric antigen in accordance may be used for treating or preventing a disease such as foot and mouth disease, African horsesickness, or bluetongue disease. The invention also extends to a method of inducing an immune response in a subject by administering an effective amount of an immunogenic composition comprising the chimeric antigen and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent to the subject thereby to elicit or induce said immune response.
