In silico design of Ebola virus Glycoprotein antigenic peptides as vaccine candidates.

ABSTRACT: Ebola virus (EBOV) is a filovirus that causes severe hemorrhagic fever and has a fatality rate between 50 and 90%. The vaccines were developed against the Ebola Zaire species; therefore, it is necessary to develop vaccines against other species to control future outbreaks. The objective of this work was to obtain vaccine candidate peptides against different EBOV species through the use of bioinformatics programs and servers that allow glycoprotein (GP) to be analyzed. GP sequences of various EBOV species that did not present gaps or unspecified amino acids or that were repeated (same year, region and laboratory) were downloaded from the NCBI database. A consensus sequence was generated and used to determine vaccine candidate peptides, which were evaluated, through a combination of servers
