Résumé

The available Epstein Barr virus vaccine has tirelessly harnessed the gp350 glycoprotein as its target epitope, but the result has not been preventive. Right here, we designed a global multi-epitope vaccine for EBV; with special attention to making sure all strains and preventive antigens are covered. Using a robust computational vaccine design approach, our proposed vaccine is armed with 6-16 mers linear B-cell epitopes, 4-9 mer CTL epitopes, and 8-15 mer HTL epitopes which are verified to induce interleukin 4, 10 & IFN-gamma. We employed deep computational mining coupled with expert intelligence in designing the vaccine, using human Beta defensin-3-which has been reported to induce the same TLRs as EBV-as the adjuvant. The tendency of the vaccine to cause autoimmune disorder is quenched by the assurance that the construct contains no EBNA-1 homolog. The protein vaccine construct exhibited excellent physicochemical attributes such as Aliphatic index 59.55 and GRAVY - 0.710; and a ProsaWeb Z score of - 3.04. Further computational analysis revealed the vaccine docked favorably with EBV indicted TLR 1, 2, 4 & 9 with satisfactory interaction patterns. With global coverage of 85.75% and the stable molecular dynamics result obtained for the best two interactions, we are optimistic that our nontoxic, non-allergenic multi-epitope vaccine will help to ameliorate the EBV-associated diseases-which include various malignancies, tumors, and cancers-preventively.
