Abstract

The unpredictable, evolutionary nature of the influenza A virus (IAV) is the primary problem when generating a vaccine and when designing diagnostic strategies; thus, it is necessary to determine the constant regions in viral proteins. In this study, we completed an in silico analysis of the reported epitopes of the 4 IAV proteins that are antigenically most significant (HA, NA, NP, and M2) in the 3 strains with the greatest world circulation in the last century (H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2) and in one of the main aviary subtypes responsible for zoonosis (H5N1). For this purpose, the HMMER program was used to align 3,016 epitopes reported in the Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (IEDB) and distributed in 34,294 stored sequences in the Pfam database. Eighteen epitopes were identified: 8 in HA, 5 in NA, 3 in NP, and 2 in M2. These epitopes have remained constant since they were first identified (~91 years) and are present in strains that have circulated on 5 continents. These sites could be targets for vaccination design strategies based on epitopes and/or as markers in the implementation of diagnostic techniques.

摘要

甲型流感病毒(IAV)具有不可预测的进化特性,这是研发疫苗和设计诊断策略时面临的主要问题;因此,确定病毒蛋白中的恒定区域很有必要。在本研究中,我们对4种IAV蛋白(在上个世纪全球传播最广的3种毒株,即H1N1、H2N2和H3N2,以及一种主要的可导致人畜共患病的禽类亚型H5N1中,抗原性最为重要的HA、NA、NP和M2)已报道的表位进行了计算机分析。为此,使用HMMER程序对免疫表位数据库和分析资源(IEDB)中报道的3016个表位进行比对,这些表位分布在Pfam数据库中的34294条存储序列中。共鉴定出18个表位:8个在HA中,5个在NA中,3个在NP中,2个在M2中。这些表位自首次被鉴定以来(约91年)一直保持不变,并且存在于在5个大洲传播的毒株中。这些位点可作为基于表位的疫苗设计策略的靶点和/或诊断技术实施中的标志物。
