For this purpose, we have used the structural proteins: Spike, Envelope, and nucleocapsid to predict B-cell, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and helper T lymphocyte (HTL) epitopes for construction of vaccine. We have also performed the docking and molecular dynamic simulations (MDS) between the vaccine and human Toll-like Receptor-3 (TLR-3) to study their binding stability. The VaxiJen 2.0 server predicts the antigenicity of the multi-epitope vaccine peptide based on the physicochemical properties of the input protein. Whereas, ANTIGENpro server predicts the antigenicity of the multi-epitopic vaccine based on the protein microarray data analysis of the target organism. Three structural proteins (spike glycoprotein, nucleocapsid, and envelope) were selected to construct a multi-epitope vaccine, which is capable of eliciting the humoral and cell-mediated immune response. ./cache/cord-272241-2fwz8z8n.txt ./txt/cord-272241-2fwz8z8n.txt
