Immunoinformatics studies of heat shock proteins 27 and 70: Development of potent therapeutic vaccine constructs against human papillomavirus-related cancers.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) improve cross-presentation of linked tumor antigens, thus they can be exploited in therapeutic vaccine design. Herein, in silico analyses of different vaccine constructs were performed based on human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 E7 protein linked to Homo sapiens/Mus musculus Hsp27 or Hsp70 in multiepitope and whole sequence forms. Then, computational comparison between different orientations of Hsp/E7 was carried out in both forms. Finally, molecular docking was performed between the designed constructs and signaling (TLRs) or endocytic (CD14, LOX-1 and SREC-1) receptors. Our data represented the high-ranked T-cell epitopes and the potential B-cell epitopes of Homo sapiens/Mus musculus Hsp27 and Hsp70. Moreover, molecular docking showed that whole
