Bioinformatics-based prediction of conformational epitopes for Enterovirus A71 and Coxsackievirus A16

Abstract Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71), Coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) and CV-A10 are the major causative agents of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). The conformational epitopes play a vital role in monitoring the antigenic evolution, predicting dominant strains and preparing vaccines. In this study, we...
