Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus associated with arthritis and musculoskeletal pains. More than 2.9 million people worldwide have been infected with the virus within the last 1.5 decades; currently, there are no approved vaccines to protect against CHIKV infection. To assess the potential of using CHIKV peptides as vaccine antigens, we multivalently displayed CHIKV peptides representing B-cell epitopes (amino acids 2800-2818, 3025-3058, 3073-3081, 3121-3146, and 3177-3210), from E2 glycoprotein (Singapore strain), on the surface of a highly immunogenic bacteriophage Qβ virus-like particle (VLP). We assessed the immunogenicity of CHIKV E2 amino acid 3025-3058 (including the other epitopes) di... More
