Computational Design and Analysis of a Multi-epitope Against Influenza A virus.

ABSTRACT: Influenza A viruses are among the most studied viruses, however no effective prevention against influenza infection has been developed. So, designing an effective vaccine against Influenza A virus is a critical issue in the field of medical biotechnology. For this reason, to combat this disease, we have designed a novel multi-epitope vaccine candidate based on the several conserved and potential linear B-cell and T-cell binding epitopes by using the in silico approach. This vaccine consists of an ER signal conserved sequence, the PADRE conserved epitope and two conserved epitopes of Influenza matrix protein 2. T-cell binding epitopes from Matrix protein 2 were predicted by in silico tools of epitope prediction. The selected epitopes were joined by flexible linkers and physicochemical prope
