Summary#
The paper aims to develop a subunit vaccine against the Nipah virus (NiV) by analyzing its proteome and predicting T-cell, helper T-cell, and B-cell epitopes using various servers. The predicted high-affinity epitopes were evaluated for antigenicity, toxicity, and allergenicity, and molecular interactions with specific receptors were analyzed.
Key Findings#
- Subunit vaccine development strategies for NiV
- Prediction of T-cell, helper T-cell, and B-cell epitopes
