Abstract excerpt
Reverse vaccinology is an outstanding strategy to identify antigens with high potential for vaccine development. Different parameters of five prediction programs were used to assess their sensitivity and specificity to identify B-cell epitopes of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) strains reported in the IEDB database. The results, based on the use of 15 to 20 mer epitopes and the polyproteins to which they belong, were...
