Immunoinformatics Analysis of Citrullinated Antigen as Potential Multi-peptide Lung Cancer Vaccine Candidates for Indonesian Population.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer which has the highest mortality rate in Indonesia. One of the trends in treating cancer is by utilizing peptide vaccines, an immunotherapeutic approach that aims to stimulate the cell-mediated adaptive immune system to recognize cancer-associated peptides. Currently, no peptide vaccines are available in the market for NSCLC treatment.

Immunoinformatics Identification of the Conserved and Cross-Reactive T-Cell Epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 with Human Common Cold Coronaviruses, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and Live Attenuated Vaccines Presented by HLA Alleles of Indonesian Population.

Reports on T-cell cross-reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 epitopes in unexposed individuals have been linked with prior exposure to the human common cold coronaviruses (HCCCs). Several studies suggested that cross-reactive T-cells response to live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) such as BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin), OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine), and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) can limit the development and severity of COVID-19. This study aims to identify potential cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2, HCCCs, and LAVs in the context of T-cell epitopes peptides presented by HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) alleles of the Indonesian population.
