Abstract

We recently have shown that binding of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) to cells in culture requires an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence in the G-H loop of the capsid protein VP1 (P. W. Mason, E. Rieder, and B. Baxt, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:1932-1936, 1994). In this report, we show that FMDV type A12 viruses found in infected bovine tongue tissue (BTT) differ from their tissue culture-grown derivatives at amino acid residues near the RGD. Viruses genetically engineered to contain VP1 sequences found in animal tissue (BTT viruses) were antigenically different from their tissue culture derivatives and bound to BHK cells more poorly than did the tissue culture-adapted viruses. Passage of the genetically engineered BTT viruses in BHK cells resulted in the rapid selection of variants with cell-binding properties, antigenic characteristics, and sequences typical of tissue culture-adapted viruses. These data indicate that residues near the RGD are critical for cell binding and that interpretations of antigenic variation of FMDV can be affected by virus cultivation in vitro.
