Abstract: The present disclosure describes the grafting of epitope residues from human PCSK9 to non-human PCSK9 or PCSK9 structural homologs and elimination of 9-mers oligopeptides that are found in human protein to reduce self-targeting response. Anti-genicity of the epitope-scaffold constructs was demonstrated toward anti-human PCSK9 antibodies. similar to wild type human PCSK9. It was shown that disclosed PCSK9 immunogens could significantly reduce LDL and cholesterol levels in immunized mice.
