The epitpes in capsid of FMDV play an important role in construction of a high immunogenic subunit vaccine. 口蹄疫病毒衣壳蛋白中的抗原表位是构建高免疫原性亚单位基因工程疫苗的基础。
Capsid proteins are involved in recognition and infection of the host and can be used to identify the virus by serological means or amino acid sequencing. 衣壳蛋白与寄主的识别和感染有关，还可以通过血清学的方法或氨基酸序列来识别病毒。
