ABSTRACT

 

Verma SK, Singh Yadav SP, Kumar A., In silico T cell antigens from proteome of H1N2 swine influenza A virus, 26 (1) :1-9, 2025. Swine Influenza (H1N2) is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen inducing swine flu in animals and humans. We screened putative peptides for vaccine by epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with influenza A virus (H1N2). We applied Propred and Propred I immune informatic tools to predict T cell epitopes from hemagglutinin , neuraminidase, polymerase, polymerasebasic 1, polymerase 2, matrix protein 1, matrix protein 2, nonstructural protein 1,  nonstructural protein 2 and nucleocapsid protein of influenza virus  (A/Sw/It/116114/2010) (H1N2). We found 21 epitopes for HLA class I and 20 for HLA class II molecules. These T cell epitopes yielded highest score peptides binding with most HLA alleles.  Threshold was 4% high binding affinity peptides by Propred I and Propred. The predicted T cell epitopes may be useful diagnostically for evaluating T-cell responses in natural infection.
