Targeting Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase‐Activating Death Domain Protein of Brugia malayi for Construction of a Multi‐Epitope Subunit Vaccine Against Lymphatic Filariasis

Medicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 177-192, September 2025.
We focused on the MAP kinase activating death domain (MADD) protein of Brugia malayi as a candidate for a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis (LF). Our results demonstrated a significant increase in the production of memory B‐cells, T‐cells, and antibodies, which are crucial for removing microfilariae from the circulation of infected individuals.
