Immunol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a highly severe and virulent viral disease of zoonotic origin, caused by a tick-born CCHF virus (CCHFV). The virus is endemic in many countries and has a mortality rate between 10% and 40%. As there is no licensed vaccine or therapeutic options available to treat CCHF, the present study was designed to focus on application of modern computational approaches to propose a multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) expressing antigenic determinants prioritized from the CCHFV genome. Integrated computational analyses revealed the presence of 9 immunodominant epitopes from Nucleoprotein (N), RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), Glycoprotein N (Gn\/G2), and Glycoprotein C (Gc\/G1). Together these epitopes were observed to cover 99.74% of the world populations. The epitopes demonstrated excellent binding affinity for the B- and T-cell reference set of alleles, the high antigenic potential, non-allergenic nature, excellent solubility, zero percent toxicity and interferon-gamma induction potential. The epitopes were engineered into an MEV through suitable linkers and adjuvating with an appropriate adjuvant molecule. The recombinant vaccine sequence revealed all favorable physicochemical properties allowing the ease of experimental analysis <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>. The vaccine 3D structure was established <jats:italic>ab initio<\/jats:italic>. Furthermore, the vaccine displayed excellent binding affinity for critical innate immune receptors: TLR2 (\u221214.33 kcal\/mol) and TLR3 (\u22126.95 kcal\/mol). Vaccine binding with these receptors was dynamically analyzed in terms of complex stability and interaction energetics. Finally, we speculate the vaccine sequence reported here has excellent potential to evoke protective and specific immune responses subject to evaluation of downstream experimental analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2021.669812","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,16]],"date-time":"2021-06-16T08:59:09Z","timestamp":1623833949000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Development
