Epitopes prediction according to glycoprotein encoding gene of rabies virus local isolates as vaccine candidate against circulating rabies virus in Indonesia

Rabies is one of the zoonotic disease which exist in Indonesia. Vaccination using conventional seed is not capable to reduce the morbidity of rabies due to the unmatching between seed vaccine compared to circulating Rabies virus. Nine infected dog brain were collected from Sumatera, Sulawesi and Bali. They were processed into RT-PCR according to Glycoprotein encoding gene. Positive samples were processed into sequencing and molecular analysis. Epitopes of T and B cells were predicted. Two samples that were isolated from Sumatera showed high number of epitopes than others.
