ABSTRACT

 

Sarika BG, Rai A., In silico prediction for epitope adhesins of Staphylococcus aureus mastitis, Onl J Vet Res., 26 (9): 661-672, 2022. Pheno-genotypes of Staphylococcus aureus which adhere to extracellular matrix and plasma proteins are involved in pathogenesis of orthopaedic-device related mastitis. To develop peptide vaccines for extracting adhesins from S. aureus cell wall we used In silico sequence, structure, QSAR, simulation and folding analysis to predict  antigenic B-cell derived T-cell epitopes  to induce B and T-cell immunity. We found T-epitopes IRKLGVGIA from Immunoglobulin G-binding protein A, IEFLEVVGL from Conserved virulence factor B, IISLGALAVASS from Staphylocoagulase and LLVIRTKGTIA from Alpha-Hemolysin antigens able to interact with human HLA alleles  DRB1*0101 and 0401. Findings suggest that these epitopes may induce both the B-cell and T-cell mediated immune responses.  

 

Key words: - Staphylococcus aureus, epitopes, mastitis, vaccines, immunity.
