Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella. There is no effective vaccine against human brucellosis. Omp19 and Omp25 are the outer membrane proteins of Brucella. They are widely expressed and highly conserved in Brucella and have high immunogenicity. Herein, we aim to identify multi-epitope vaccine candidates based on Omp19 and Omp25. We analyzed the physicochemical properties and protein structure of Omp19 and Omp25, and predicted the corresponding B cell and T cell epitopes using bioinformatics analysis. Omp19 and Omp25 were composed of 177 amino acids and 213 amino acids, respectively. They were both stable hydrophilic proteins. The instability indices were 44.8 and 23, respectively. The hydrophilicity was −0.1 and −0.317, respectively. In the secondary structure of Omp19 and Omp25 proteins, the α-helix accounted for 12.43% and 23.94%, the β-sheet was 18.64% and 23.47%, the β-turn was 6.78% and 4.23%, and the random coil was 62.15% and 48.36%. Finally, 5 B cell epitopes, 3 Th-cell epitopes and 5 CTL cell epitopes of Omp19 protein, and 4 B cell epitopes, 3 Th-cell epitopes, and 5 CTL cell epitopes of Omp25 protein were selected as vaccine candidates. In conclusion, we obtained potential B cell and T cell epitopes of the Brucella outer membrane Omp19 and Omp25 proteins. This lays the foundation for the further design of multi-epitope vaccine of Brucella.
With the rapid development of China’s social economy and the improvement of the level of urbanization, urban transportation has also been greatly developed. With the booming development of the internet and the sharing economy industry, shared bicycles have emerged as the times requirement. Shared bicycles are a new type of urban transportation without piles. As a green way of travel, shared bicycles have the advantages of convenience, fashion, green, and environmental protection. However, many problems have also arisen in the use of shared bicycles, such as man-made damage to the vehicle, the expiration of the service life of the vehicle, etc. These problems are unavoidable, and the occurrence of these failure problems will also cause serious harm to the use of shared bicycles. This article aims to study the path optimization of shared bicycles considering the recovery of faulty vehicles during dispatching. Based on the K-means spatial data clustering algorithm, a path optimization experiment of shared bicycle recycling scheduling considering the recycling of faulty vehicles is carried out. The experiment concluded that the shared bicycle recycling scheduling path based on K-means clustering planning significantly reduces the total time spent and the total cost of performing recycling scheduling tasks. Among them, the unit price of recycling and dispatching of each faulty shared bicycle has dropped by 4.1 yuan compared with the market unit price. The conclusion shows that the shared bicycle recycling scheduling path considering faulty vehicle recycling based on K-means clustering algorithm has been greatly optimized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
