  Author(s): Pawan Sharma and Ajay Kumar Pawan Sharma and Ajay Kumar
  
  Influenza (H1N1) is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen that continues to evolve and threaten both veterinary and human public health. Presently existing vaccines against in fl uenza (H1N1) are based on the generation of secondary response in form of neutralizing antibody primarily directed against surface proteins– hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. In this work, Propred and Propred I immunoinformatics tools have been used to predict the T cell epitopes from seven putative protein viz. Hemagglutinin ,neuraminidase, polymerase PA ,nucleocapsid protein, matrix protein, polymerase PB1, polymerase PB2 of in fl uenza virus A/Minnesota/2009 (H1N1). Total of 15 epitopes were predicted for HLA class I and 14 epitopes for HLA class II molecules. These epitopes are found top scoring peptides and showed binding with maximum number of HLA alleles.
