title: Comparative analysis of the molecular adjuvants and their binding efficiency with CR1.
abstract: There are so many obstacles in developing a vaccine or vaccine technology for diseases like Cancer and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. While developing vaccines that targets specific infection, molecular adjuvants are indispensable. These molecular adjuvants act as a vaccine delivery vehicle to the immune system to increase the effectiveness of the specific antigens. In the present work, a computational study has been done on molecular adjuvants like IgGFc, GMCSF and C3d to find out how efficiently they are binding to CR1. Sequence, structure and mutational analysis are performed on the molecular adjuvants to understand the features important for their binding with the receptor. Results obtained from our study indicate that the adjuvant IgGFc complexed with the receptor CR1 has the best binding efficiency, which can be used further to develop better vaccine technologies.
