Abstract
Background: Nipah virus is a pathogenic virus of ruinous zoonotic potential with inflated rate of mortality in humans.
Methods: Considering the emerging threat of this pandemic virus, the present investigation amid to design vaccine by using the bioinformatics tools such as host and virus codon usage analysis, CD8+ peptide prediction, immunogenicity/allergenicity/toxicity, MHC-I allele binding prediction and subsequent population coverage and MHC-I-peptide docking analysis.
Results: In this study (conducted in 2022 at School of Biotechnology, Katra, India), a set of 11 peptides of the structural proteins of Nipah Virus were predicted and recognized by the set of MHC-I alleles that are expressed in 92% of the global human population.
Conclusion: The strong interactions between these peptides and the MHC-I protein suggest them as strong peptide candidates for the development of vaccine against Nipah Virus.
期刊介绍：
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
