ABSTRACT
A promising approach to the development of new means for preventing infection caused by tick-borne encephalitis virus can be DNA vaccines encoding polyepitope T-cell immunogens. A DNA vaccine pVAX-AG4-ub encoding an artificial polyepitope immunogen that includes cytotoxic and T-helper epitopes from the NS1, NS3, NS5, and E proteins of the tick-borne encephalitis virus has been obtained. The developed construct ensured the synthesis of the corresponding mRNAs in transfected eukaryotic cells. Immunization of mice with pVAX-AG4-ub induced the formation of a virus-specific T-cell response providing 50% protection from lethal infection with the virus.
