Title: Scouting the receptor-binding domain of SARS coronavirus 2: a comprehensive immunoinformatics inquisition Cord-id: hkhq123v Document date: 2021_2_22
ID: hkhq123v
Snippet: Aim: December 2019 witnessed the emergence of a worldwide outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (CoV) termed SARS-CoV-2. Several preventive strategies are being developed, such as vaccines, to stop the spread of infection. Materials & methods: A comprehensive immunoinformatics approach was used to map conserved peptide sequences on the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 for their B-cell, T-helper & T-cytotoxic cell epitope profiles. Results & conclusion: The antigenic B-cell epitopes were
Document: Aim: December 2019 witnessed the emergence of a worldwide outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (CoV) termed SARS-CoV-2. Several preventive strategies are being developed, such as vaccines, to stop the spread of infection. Materials & methods: A comprehensive immunoinformatics approach was used to map conserved peptide sequences on the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 for their B-cell, T-helper & T-cytotoxic cell epitope profiles. Results & conclusion: The antigenic B-cell epitopes were LFRKSN and SYGFQPT. Among T-cell epitopes, CVADYSVLY and FTNVYADSF exhibited affinity for MHC class I, while YRLFRKSNL and VYAWNRKRI exhibited affinity for of MHC class II alleles. The overlapping epitope between B- and T-cells was YRLFRKSNL. The deployment of these epitopes in potential vaccine development against COVID-19 may help in slowing down the SARS-CoV-2 spread.
