A novel bovine leukemia virus peptide vaccine targeting susceptible cattle-Production by 3-D modelling and nanotechnology

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a retrovirus related to human T-cell leukemia virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1 and -2), causes enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), a disease characterized by a much extended course that often involves persistent lymphocytosis and culminates in B-cell lymphoma the future. Our previously study demonstrated that cattle which had bovine major histocompatibility complex (BoLA)-DRB3*1601/*1601 genotype tend to onset EBL and...
