in silico design of a multimeric polytope as a highly immunogenic dna vaccine against human cytomegalovirus

چکیده
human cytomegalovirus is one of the most common pathogenic viruses all over the world. in congenital infection leads to neurologic severe disorders and even death of fetus and in individuals with immunosuppression may also cause severe clinical symptoms. multiple evidence indicate that among several strategies, epitope-based vaccine (evs) that can induce both humoral and cellular immunity responses, are the most important and have numerous potential profits. in this study, we select the viral surface glycoprotein b and phosphoprotein 65 and 150 with the highest antigenic and immunogenic properties, that have the most important role in induce cellular and humoral immune responses. bioinformatics tools, as a standard and developed approaches use for epitope mapping. epitope discovery greatly accelerate by in silico prediction methods with in vitro and in vivo verification. bioinformatics methods and epitopes identification algorithms were used in order to selection of cytomegalovirus immunodominant epitopes, detection of each epitope antigenicity and design chimeric gene construct. the chimeric protein showed high antigenicity in vaxijen analysis. also further immunoinformatic analyses in order to predict the discontinuous and continuous b and t cell epitopes and mhc binding peptides affinity were used. the study results show that protein structures were suitable. therefore it can be expected that construct is proper subject for practical experiments and stimulus for humoral and cellular immune responses

Use of immunogenic moiety of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A as a DNA vaccine in experimentally contaminated mice
Background: DNA immunization is an appropriate method to produce an immunological response. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces exotoxin A which is highly cytotoxic for eukaryotic cells. Since domains II (translocation domain) and 1b of the toxin have antigenic qualities, so they could be useful candidates to protect against pseudomonas infections. Objectives: To evaluate if recombinant plasmid co...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women. Common cancer treatment methods are not effective enough, and there is a need for a more efficient treatment procedure. Cancer vaccine is a novel immunotherapy method that stimulates humoral and/or cellular immunity against cancer. Placenta-specific protein 1 (PLAC1) is a cancer/testis antigen, prevalent in breast cance...
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 کاملAssessment of humoral immune response of a Cytomegalovirus DNA-vaccine candidate in BALB/c mice
Introduction: Glycoprotein B (gB) is the major antigen for induction of humoral responses against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) making it an attractive candidate for immune prophylaxis. In the present study, the humoral immune response of BALB/c mice to a truncated HCMV gB protein fused with GFP was evaluated. Methods: The truncated gB coding sequence was synthesized and cloned in pEGFPN1 eukary...
