| Abstract | An in silico study was conducted to identify antigens with potential possibility of being a vaccine against type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). A molecular mimicry between protein 2C of coxsackievirus B4 and autoantigen glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of T1DM. The aim of this study was to predict the protein 2C of coxsackievirus B4 epitopes and design a vaccine against T1DM. Several web servers were used to predict continuous B cell epitopes and 8 peptides (P1–P8) were selected. Then the 3D structure of P2C was built by structural modeling using Robetta and the structure was subjected to 10 ns molecular dynamics simulation by Amber to obtain an average structure in an explicit water system. Molecular mimicry theory was confirmed by local structural alignment of modeled structure protein 2C with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 using Swiss pdb viewer. Then conformational B cell epitope web servers were used to identify discontinuous B cells epitopes. PDBsum was used for the analysis of the protein 2C secondary structure. Finally, T cells epitopes have been predicted by the immune epitope database analysis resource (IEDB). In silico analysis of the sequence and structure retrieved by mentioned methods and web servers, revealed that two out of 8 peptides (P2 and P7 epitopes) are the best choices for the vaccine design. These results suggest that epitopes and structural features of the protein 2C of coxsackievirus B4 can be predicted and this information could be used to make novel vaccines for control of T1DM. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
