Abstract
The aim of this study was to use IEDB software to predict the suitable MERS-CoV epitope vaccine against the most known world population alleles through four selecting proteins such as S glycoprotein and envelope protein and their modification sequences after the pandemic spread of MERS-CoV in 2012. IEDB services is one of the computational methods; the output of this study showed that S glycoprotein, envelope (E) protein, and S and E protein modified sequences of MERS-CoV might be considered as a protective immunogenic with high conservancy because they can elect both neutralizing antibodies and T-cell responses when reacting with B-cell, T-helper cell, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte. NetCTL, NetChop, and MHC-NP were used to confirm our results. Population coverage analysis showed that the putative helper T-cell epitopes and CTL epitopes could cover most of the world population in more than 60 geographical regions. According to AllerHunter results, all those selected different protein showed non-allergen; this finding makes this computational vaccine study more desirable for vaccine synthesis.

These strains of coronaviruses were called HC-229E and HC-OC43; in 2003, following the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that resulted in over 8000 infections, about 10% of which resulted in death, but in 24 September 2012, a first report of isolated new novel coronavirus like SARS-CoV by Egyptian virologist Dr. Ali Mohamed Zaki in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from the lungs of a 60-year-old male patient with acute pneumonia and acute renal failure becomes a new discovery that was recently called MERS-CoV; this finding was posted on ProMED-mail [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. MERS-CoV belong to group C β-coronaviruses that characterize 30 KB genome, ssRNA virus, positive sense with 10 predicting open reading frames (ORFs) like E, M, S, enveloped. MERS-CoV can grow in a culture media; the genome size, organization, and sequence analysis revealed that the NCoV is most closely related to bat coronaviruses BtCoV-HKU4 and BtCoV-HKU5; a partial spike gene sequencing of South African Neoromicia bats was considered as close relative to MERS-Cov as illustrated by nucleotide percentage distance substitution model and the complete deletion option in MEGA; this makes the possibility of a common coronavirus vaccine more desirable [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p id="Par3">This study depended on using S and E with modified S and E protein sequences through in silico approach to develop MERS-CoV vaccine in addition to study the side effects of mutation in those selected sequences on vaccine development.

wasting resources, time, and efforts; for MERS-CoV vaccine, it is important to design effective vaccine that cannot be protected against MERS-CoV but also the emergence of new strain besides the other human coronavirus especially when MERS-CoV vaccines they are not passed all vaccine design protocols.</p><p id="Par122">In this study I found the following points: Emergence of a new strains may had a minor change in peptide sequence vaccine especially when the selected viruses parts nor longer neither smaller in their length.</p><p id="Par123">In B-cell prediction; mutations can lead to increased numbers of selected epitopes with very few sequence changes noticed, in addition to a large number of shared epitopes between reference and modified sequence; this means mutated sequence has the ability to elicit the same immune response (IR) (response to virus by the same antibodies as in first infections).</p><p id="Par124">Mutations of the virus sequence can change the frequency of allele and peptide numbers eithers through increased or decreased these numbers, beside presences or absences of some new/old alleles or peptides; same alleles had a different peptide sequences and vice versa.</p><p id="Par125">For MHC-II there were not changed in E & modified E protein alleles & their frequencies & also in peptide sequences & their frequencies were noticed, these may be due to short E protein sequence, while for S & modified S glycoprotein there are minor difference in some peptide frequency numbers either by adding/lowering one or two numbers just & same for alleles.</p><p id="Par126">There is an allele similarity between E, S, and modified E and S proteins in MHC-II, besides presence of a tiny difference in S and modified S peptide sequences in MHC-II due to the modification that I was introduced before in S reference sequence.</p><p id="Par127">The absence of very few numbers of peptide sequences from S reference sequence in modified S sequence leads to the presence of a new peptide sequences.</p><p id="Par128">In MHC-I a lot of selected peptide sequences that are represented in S glycoprotein reference sequence are missing from the modified one reverse E protein reference sequence due to presence of additional epitopes in E protein modified sequence.</p><p id="Par129">The presence of arginine in some selected peptide sequence vaccine makes it ineffective, so we need to solve this problem either by replacing it with other amino acid from the same group or by finding another ways that make those epitopes visible for immune system (IS).</p><p
