Discriminating antigen and non-antigen using proteome dissimilarity: bacterial antigens [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2010 It has been postulated that immunogenicity results from the overall dissimilarity of pathogenic proteins versus the host proteome. We have sought to use this concept to discriminate between antigens and non-antigens of bacterial origin. Sets of 100 known antigenic and nonantigenic peptide sequences from bacteria were compared to human and mouse ...

Immunoprotection against Cryptococcosis Offered by Znf2 Depends on Capsule and the Hyphal Morphology
mBio, 2022 Systemic cryptococcosis is fatal without treatment. Globally, this disease kills 180,000 of the 225,000 infected people each year, even with the use of antifungal therapies. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent cryptococcosis.

Babesia microti Protein BmSP44 Is a Novel Protective Antigen in a Mouse Model of Babesiosis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Babesiosis caused by Babesia species imposes an increasing threat to public-health and so far, there is no effective vaccine to prevent Babesia infections. Babesia surface antigen may participate in the invasion of erythrocytes.

Antigen Stability Controls Antigen Presentation [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 We investigated whether protein stability controls antigen presentation using a four disulfide-containing snake toxin and three derivatives carrying one or two mutations (L1A, L1A/H4Y, and H4Y). These mutations were anticipated to increase (H4Y) or decrease (L1A) the antigen non-covalent stabilizing interactions, H4Y being naturally and frequently ...

Antigen Processing of a Short Viral Antigen by Proteasomes [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 Mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods coupled to reverse phase chromatography separation are a useful technology to analyze complex peptide pools that are comprised of different peptides with unrelated sequences. In antigen presentation, proteasomes generate a set of short peptides that are closely related and overlapping and in some instances may even ...

Subunit Vaccine Approaches for African Swine Fever Virus
Vaccines, 2019 African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the cause of a highly fatal disease in swine, for which there is no available vaccine. The disease is highly contagious and poses a serious threat to the swine industry worldwide. Since its introduction to the Caucasus
