- Abstract
Hepatitis B virus was first discovered by Blumberg and colleagues in 1965. The spread of Hepatitis B disease is alarming. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002 estimated that one billion living individuals have been infected with Hepatitis B, with 1–2 million deaths attributed to this virus, which attacks liver cells. Therefore, a vaccine is needed to address Hepatitis B virus disease. This study utilizes the Hepatitis B e-antigen in complex with scFv e13 with the code 6CVK. The virus has been inserted with the fusion protein scFv e13 antibody, obtained through the web server https://www.rcsb.org/. B-cell epitopes were identified using the IEDB immune epitope database web server. The results of this study recommend the peptides TLTSGVPSRFKGSGSGTE and SDTSTDTAFGGG as vaccine candidates to combat diseases caused by the Hepatitis B virus. Further studies are recommended to confirm this through in vivo and in vitro approaches.
