In the current study, the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 was explored for potential immunogenic epitopes to design multi-epitope vaccine constructs. We adapted a comprehensive predictive framework to provide novel insights into immunogenic epitopes of spike proteins, which can further be evaluated as potential vaccine candidates against COVID-19. Designed vaccines were then tested with different epitopes, including Truncated Ov-ASP-1 Protein (residues 10-153) and Beta defensin (45 residues long), and constructs having higher antigenicity and that are predicted to produce high antibody titers were added with the multi epitope vaccine construct to the enhance immune response (30) . For the interaction analysis of vaccine 3 and BCR (CD79), the HADDOCK server clustered 140 probable structures into 13 different clusters, which represented a total of 70% of the water-refined models. ./cache/cord-348283-7xorq5ce.txt ./txt/cord-348283-7xorq5ce.txt
