Abstract

Multiepitope cancer vaccines are manifesting as the future of breast cancer immunotherapy. In the present study, high immunogenic fragments of synaptonemal complex protein 1 (SYCP1) and acrosin binding protein (ACRBP) antigens were selected according to MHCs binding affinity and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes’ (CTL) epitopes by various immunoinformatic servers. (RCQHKIAEMVALMEKHKHQYDKI) residue from p702–724 SYCP1 and the (YIQYPNYCSFKSQQCL) residue from p481–496 ACRBP were selected as the immunodominant fragments. Then, the selected fragments were fused together with a furin-sensitive linker to form the final peptide vaccine construct. The cleavage sites, TAP transport efficiency, CTL epitopes, post-translational modifications, and B cells epitopes were predicted for the final construct. The final construct contained appropriate CTLs epitopes and also, several linear and conformational B cell epitopes. Also, it exhibited 90.37% HLA population coverage in the world. Therefore, these preliminary results require validation by in vitro and in vivo experiments. © 2018, Springer Nature B.V.
