Linear epitope prediction in HPV type 16 E7 antigen and their docked interaction with human TMEM 50A structural model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) HPV type 16 E7 antigen is a known target in cervical cancer. We report the predicted potential epitopes in the E7 antigen. We further describe the subsequent interaction of these linear epitope peptides with the human TMEM 50 A structural model using molecular docking. This data finds application in the development of components towards HPV associated disease prevention.

Background: Cervical cancer is the most prevalent tumor in developing countries and the second most frequent cancer among female population worldwide. Specific human papillomaviruses and, most notably, HPV types 16 and 18 are recognized as being caus-ally associated with cervical carcinomas. The early HPV type 16 genes, E6 and E7, di-rectly participate in the in vitro transformation of primary ...

Background: Vaccines capable of controlling tumor virus based infections are found difficult to develop due to the consistence latent infection in the host. DNA vaccines are attractive tools for the development of HPV vaccines and inducing antigen-specific immunity owing to the stability, simplicity of delivery, safety and cost effectiveness. However, there is a need to increase their potency b...

OBJECTIVE Approximately 90% of squamous carcinomas of the cervix harbor the human papillomavirus and type 16 has been detected in nearly 50% of cases. Recent studies in mice have shown that the human papillomavirus type 16 E7 oncoprotein contains peptide epitopes that are processed and presented in association with a major histocompatibility antigen for recognition by cytolytic T lymphocytes. W...

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for the development of cervical neoplasia. Infection with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is a major risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. The virus encodes three oncoproteins (E5, E6 and E7), of which, the E7 oncoprotein is the major protein involved in cell immortalization and transformation o...

Previously, we found that human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E5 protein is a tumor rejection antigen and can induce cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity. Therefore, in this study, human leukocyte antigen A*0201 (HLA-A*0201)-restricted human CTL epitopes of HPV-16 E5 protein were identified using a bioinformatics approach, and the abilities of these predicted peptides to induce an immune res...
