چکیده انگلیسی
Chagas disease caused by protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is endemic disease in South and Central American countries but due to migrating human populations it has shown emergence in Europe, North America and Australia. With only two drugs, benznidazole and nifurtimox for its treatment there is need for newer therapies. In the current study, we have tried to analyse the potential of amastin, a major surface protein as a vaccine target using bioinformatics tools. Using 282 variants of this protein available in NCBI protein database we have found out five conserved potential Tc cell and two TH cell epitopes. These epitopes are conserved in more than 90% of the cohort of sequences used in the study. The epitopes showed binding to the peptide binding cleft of HLA-A02 and HLA-DR molecules. With coverage of pan world populations and being non-toxic and non-allergic these epitopes could be used for future vaccine applications.
