Abstract:

To predict the secondary structures and B-and T-cell epitopes of σB and σC proteins of avian reovirus(ARV),the secondary structures of ARV σB and σC proteins were predicted by DNAStar software and the Garnier-Robson,Chou-Fasman methods.B-and T-cell cell epitopes of σB and σC proteins were predicted by mutable parameters,including hydrophilicity,flexibility,surface probability and antigenicity.The analysis results showed that σB and σC proteins had few α-helix regions,meanwhile,compared with σB protein,σC protein possessed rather much β-sheet and turn regions,indicating σC protein exhibited more complex secondary structure.Furthermore,both σB and σC proteins had a few promising B cell and T cell epitopes,which would contribute to further explore the immune functions of σB and σC proteins,and provided a basis for development of ARV new type vaccine and therapeutic drugs.

Key words: avian reovirus; σB and σC proteins; secondary structure; epitope
