A Novel Multi-Epitope Vaccine For Cross Protection Against Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): An Immunoinformatics Approach
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes acute and chronic human hepatitis infections. Due to the high genetic diversity and high rates of mutations in the genetic material so far there is no approved vaccine against HCV. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to determination B and T cell conserved epitopes of E1 and E2 proteins from HCV and construction of a chimeric pepti...
متن کاملNaturally Occurring Hepatitis B Virus B-Cell and T-Cell Epitope Mutants in Hepatitis B Vaccinated Children
To control hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a universal HBV vaccination program for infants was launched in Taiwan in 1984. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of B-cell and T-cell epitope variations of HBsAg and polymerase in HBV infection in vaccinated children. One hundred sixty-three sera from vaccinated children were enrolled randomly. HBV serum markers, including hepatitis...
متن کاملVirus-neutralizing antibodies to hepatitis B virus: the nature of an immunogenic epitope on the S gene peptide.
Using a murine monoclonal antibody (RF-HBs-1) which has been shown to be capable of neutralizing both ad and ay subtypes of hepatitis B virus (HBV), we have devised a competitive inhibition assay to measure the presence of virus-neutralizing antibodies in the sera of patients who have recovered from acute type B hepatitis. The majority of patients have this antibody in their serum. We also show...
متن کاملA SOCS1/3 Antagonist Peptide Protects Mice Against Lethal Infection with Influenza A Virus
We have developed an antagonist to suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1), pJAK2(1001-1013), which corresponds to the activation loop of the Janus kinase JAK2, which is the binding site for the kinase inhibitory region (KIR) of SOCS1. Internalized pJAK2(1001-1013) inhibits SOCS1 and SOCS3. SOCS1 has been shown to be an influenza virus-induced virulence factor that enhances infection of cell...
متن کاملA Human Multi-Epitope Recombinant Vaccinia Virus as a Universal T Cell Vaccine Candidate against Influenza Virus
There is a need to develop a universal vaccine against influenza virus infection to avoid developing new formulations of a seasonal vaccine each year. Many of the vaccine strategies for a universal vaccine target strain-conserved influenza virus proteins, such as the matrix, polymerase, and nucleoproteins, rather than the surface hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins. In addition, non-diseas...
