Immunoinformatics and molecular dynamics approaches: Next generation vaccine design against West Nile virus.

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a life threatening flavivirus that causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. No preventive therapeutics including vaccines against WNV are available for human use. In this study, immunoinformatics approach was performed to design a multi epitope-based subunit vac...
