The rodent-borne Arenavirus in humans has led to the emergence of regional endemic situations and has deeply emerged into pandemic-causing viruses. Arenavirus have a bisegmented ambisense RNA that produces four proteins: glycoprotein, nucleocapsid, RdRp and Z protein. The peptide-based vaccine targets the glycoprotein of the virus encountered by the immune system. Screening of B-Cell and T-Cell epitopes was done based on their immunological properties like antigenicity, allergenicity, toxicity and anti-inflammatory properties were performed. Selected epitopes were then clustered and epitopes were stitched using linker sequences. The immunological and physico-chemical properties of the vaccine construct was checked and modelled structure was validated by a 2-step MD simulation. The thermostability of the vaccine was checked followed by the immune simulation to test the immunogenicity of the vaccine upon introduction into the body over the course of the next 100 days and codon optimization was performed. Finally a 443 amino acid long peptide vaccine was designed which could provide protection against several members of the mammarenavirus family in a variety of population worldwide as denoted by the epitope conservancy and population coverage analysis. This study of designing a peptide vaccine targeting the glycoprotein of mammarenavirues may help develop novel therapeutics in near future.
