ABSTRACT:

 

Anuraj Nayarisseri S, Sheaza Ahmed S, Mukesh Yadav D, Jyoti Sahu, Priyanka Gupta, Rachna Chourasia, Deepti Mittal R., In silico T-Cell Bacillus  anthracis  epitope  protective  antigen - lethal  factors, Onl J Bioinform, 18(3):108-118, 2017.  A major factor in the virulence of Bacillus anthracis is secretion of protective antigen, lethal and edema toxins. These toxins possess a common cell receptor-binding (B) component but have distinct biochemically active (A) components. We identified In silico T-Cell epitope and its binding affinity with MHC Class II with HLAPred. Ideal epitope peptide antigen, lipophilicity and solvency were determined. We identified 10 protective antigen and 5 lethal factors with best epitopic characteristics. Further studies to predict population coverage of T-cell epitope based on MHC binding data for epitope-based vaccines or diagnostics are required.

 

Keywords: T-Cell Epitope, Bacillus anthracis, Protective Antigen and Lethal factor.
