Epitope analysis for influenza vaccine design.
Until now, design of the annual influenza vaccine has relied on phylogenetic or whole-sequence comparisons of the viral coat proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, with vaccine effectiveness assumed to correlate monotonically to the vaccine-influenza sequence difference. We use a theory from statistical mechanics to quantify the non-monotonic immune response that results from antigenic drift...
متن کاملIn silico design a multivalent epitope vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 for Iranian populations
Background: Due to high genetic variation in human leukocyte antigen )HLA( alleles, epitope-based vaccines don’t show equal efficacy in different human populations. therefore, we proposed a multi-epitope vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 for Iranian populations. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the proteins without allergenicity and high antigenicity as well as conservancy level from SARS-CoV...
متن کاملComputational design of epitope-scaffolds allows induction of antibodies specific for a poorly immunogenic HIV vaccine epitope.
Broadly cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies define epitopes for vaccine development against HIV and other highly mutable viruses. Crystal structures are available for several such antibody-epitope complexes, but methods are needed to translate that structural information into immunogens that re-elicit similar antibodies. We describe a general computational method to design epitope-scaffolds in...
متن کاملT-cell epitope vaccine design by immunoinformatics
Vaccination is generally considered to be the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases. All vaccinations work by presenting a foreign antigen to the immune system in order to evoke an immune response. The active agent of a vaccine may be intact but inactivated ('attenuated') forms of the causative pathogens (bacteria or viruses), or purified components of the pathogen that have b...
متن کاملDesign and psychometric evaluation of measurement tools for Institutional research functions
Introduction: Universities in the path of survival, development, and excellence will inevitably be continually aligned with complex, ambiguous and turbulent environmental changes which will not be achieved by managing, planning, and deciding on scientific, research-based and accurate, up-to-date, and accurate information. The purpose of this study was to design and psychometric evaluation of me...
