Design of a multi-epitopic vaccine against Epstein-Barr virus
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Scientific findings have shown that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) plays a key role in the development of some tumor diseases. Therefore, this study intends to take a practical step in controlling the pathogenicity of this virus by designing an effective vaccine based on the virus Capsid Envelope and Epstein-Barr nuclear immunogen (EBNA) Proteins Epitopes. Currently, there are no effective drugs or vaccines to treat or prevent EBV infection. So, we applied a computer-based strategy to design an epitope vaccine. Results: We designed a powerful multi-epitope peptide vaccine against EBV using in silico analysis. The vaccine is made up of 844 amino acids derived from three different types of proteins (Envelope, Capsid, EBNA) found in two different viral strains. responses. These epitopes have a high immunogenic capacity and are not likely to cause allergies. To enhance the vaccine immunogenicity, we used rOv-ASP-1, a recombinant Onchocerca volvulus activation associated protein-1, as an adjuvant and linked it to the vaccine's N and C terminus. The physicochemical and immunological properties of the vaccine structure were evaluated. The proposed vaccine was stable, with a stability index of 33.57 and a pI of 10.10, according to bioinformatic predictions. Docking analysis revealed that the vaccine protein binds correctly with immunological receptors. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that the multi-epitope vaccine might be potentially immunogenic and induce humoral and cellular immune responses against EBV. This vaccine can interact appropriately with immunological receptors Also, it has a high-quality structure and suitable characteristics such as high stability.
