Immunoinformatic Approaches for Vaccine Designing Against Viral Infections.

Vaccines have become a cost-effective method for prevention or treatment of viral infections. Conventional methods to design a vaccine candidate is a laborious process requiring time and economy. Many approaches have been made to reduce the times and economy of vaccine development. In this regard, immunoinformatic approach is supposed to bring a revolution in vaccine development. This chapter provides an overview of immunoinformatics and its application in in silico vaccine design and development strategies in humans against viral diseases with the help of available databases and tools.
