- W4289520891 abstract "Abstract Background Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women and is caused by human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections that are sexually transmitted. There are currently commercially available prophylactic vaccines that have been shown to protect vaccinated individuals against HPV infections, however, these vaccines have no therapeutic effects for those who are previously infected with the virus. The current study’s aim was to use immunoinformatics to develop a multi-epitope vaccine with therapeutic potential against cervical cancer. Results In this study, T-cell epitopes from E5 and E7 proteins of HPV16/18 were predicted. These epitopes were evaluated and chosen based on their antigenicity, allergenicity, toxicity, and induction of IFN-γ production (only in helper T lymphocytes). Then, the selected epitopes were sequentially linked by appropriate linkers. In addition, a C-terminal fragment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was used as an adjuvant for the vaccine construct. The physicochemical parameters of the vaccine construct were acceptable. Furthermore, the vaccine was soluble, highly antigenic, and non-allergenic. The vaccine’s 3D model was predicted, and the structural improvement after refinement was confirmed using the Ramachandran plot and ProSA-web. The vaccine’s B-cell epitopes were predicted. Molecular docking analysis showed that the vaccine's refined 3D model had a strong interaction with the Toll-like receptor 4. The structural stability of the vaccine construct was confirmed by molecular dynamics simulation. Codon adaptation was performed in order to achieve efficient vaccine expression in Escherichia coli strain K12 ( E. coli ). Subsequently, in silico cloning of the multi-epitope vaccine was conducted into pET-28a ( +) expression vector. Conclusions According to the results of bioinformatics analyses, the multi-epitope vaccine is structurally stable, as well as a non-allergic and non-toxic antigen. However, in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to validate the vaccine’s efficacy and safety. If satisfactory results are obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies, the vaccine designed in this study may be effective as a therapeutic vaccine against cervical cancer." @default.
