Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is swiftly emerging as a wide-reaching health menace. In this study, the sequences of recombinant tagged CHIKV structural proteins E3, E2, E1 and 6K were analysed to predict potential protein features and possible antigenic sites. All four recombinant proteins were inducibl...
