The immune response of pigs to one and two injections of Waldmannand Frenkel-type monovalent FMD type C vaccines and to experimental infection with FMD type C virus was studied. Neutrali­ zing serum antibody titres were determined, and challenge infections were performed 4 and 8 weeks after the first vaccination, and 2 weeks after the second one; essentially the same schedule was followed with ...

In this paper, we study the application of an HMM (hidden Markov model) to the problem of representing protein sequences by a stochastic motif. A stochastic protein motif represents the small segments of protein sequences that have a certain function or structure. The stochastic motif, represented by an HMM, has conditional probabilities to deal with the stochastic nature of the motif. This HMM...
