The spatial structure of the envelope protein of African swine fever (ASF) virus is modeled; its topology relative to the cell membrane is calculated; the B- and T-cell epitopes are predicted for this protein; and their immunogenecity, allergenicity, and toxicity are estimated. The variability of protein amino acids and the conservativity of the found epitopes are studied. It is shown that a new peptide vaccine against ASF can be developed based on the found epitopes.
