Abstract:Vaccines based on proteins and peptides may be safer and more broad-spectrum than other approaches Physicochemical property consensus (PCPcon) alphavirus antigens from the B-domain of the E2 envelope protein were designed and synthesized recombinantly. Those based on individual species (eastern or Venezuelan equine encephalitis (EEEVcon, VEEVcon), or chikungunya (CHIKVcon) viruses generated species-specific antibodies. Peptides designed to surface exposed areas of the E2-A-domain were added to the inocula to… Show more
