Multi-Epitope Peptide Sequence in-silico Construction from HGV Genome

Kumar Sharp

In this study I have approached through in-silico method or reverse vaccinology taking advantage of the genome sequence of hepatitis G virus. It serves its benefit of identifying antigens seen by both conventional as well as discovering any novel antigen. This peptide candidate can serve a triple purpose of hepatitis C vaccine, hepatitis G vaccine and HIV management addition. 89.2% of the residues were in the favoured region of Ramachandran plot. These points make it favourable for in-vitro trials and further refinement. Because of the high similarity of hepatitis C genome to hepatitis G genome, it is highly probable that this peptide sequence might act as both hepatitis C and hepatitis G vaccine. Patients with past or current HGV infection have higher CD4+ lymphocyte counts and better AIDS-free survival rates. This peptide sequence might cause a breakthrough in the treatment of HIV without exposing them to develop hepatitis.
