Envelope Glycoprotein based multi-epitope vaccine against a co-infection of Human Herpesvirus 5 and Human Herpesvirus 6 using in silico strategies
The Human Betaherpesviruses HHV-5 and HHV-6 are quite inimical in immunocompromised hosts individually. A co-infection of both has been surmised to be far more disastrous. This can be attributed to a synergetic effect of their combined pathologies. While there have been attempts to develop a vaccine...

description | The Human Betaherpesviruses HHV-5 and HHV-6 are quite inimical in immunocompromised hosts individually. A co-infection of both has been surmised to be far more disastrous. This can be attributed to a synergetic effect of their combined pathologies. While there have been attempts to develop a vaccine against each virus, no efforts were made to contrive an effective prophylaxis for the highly detrimental co-infection. In this study, an ensemble of viral envelope glycoproteins from both the viruses was utilized to design a multi-epitope vaccine using immunoinformatics tools. A collection of bacterial protein toll-like receptor agonists (BPTAs) was screened to identify a highly immunogenic adjuvant for the vaccine construct. The constructed vaccine was analysed using an array of methodologies ranging from World population coverage analysis to Immune simulation, whose results indicate high vaccine efficacy and stability. Furthermore, codon optimization and in silico cloning analysis were performed to check for efficient expression in a bacterial system. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the potential of the constructed vaccine to elicit an immune response against HHV-5 and HHV-6, thus supporting the viability of in vitro and in vivo studies. |
