Abstract: The aim of this study was to predict secondary structure and B-cell epitopes of toxin protein HipA of Haemophilus parasuis. The hipA gene sequence was searched from GenBank. By using bioinformatics methods, the physicochemical property, the secondary structure and B-cell epitope of HipA protein were predicted. The results showed that the IP of HipA was 7.23 and the first 50 amino acids was signal peptide. Using the SOPMA method, prediction of the secondary structure of the HipA showed that α-helix, random coils and extended strand were the main structural types of the flexible region in secondary structure, and there was a small amount of β-turn. The HipA protein was supposed to contain 17 potential antigen epitopes. These results provided a theoretical basis for a further study of the toxin protein (HipA) from Haemophilus parasuis.
