An in silico approach for prediction of B cell and T cell epitope candidates against Chikungunya virus

Immunological Medicine, 2023
Several outbreaks of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) had been reported since 1952 when mankind had his first encounter against the virus in Tanzania. Although these reports designate the CHIKV to be rarely fatal, cases of outbreaks in the last decade ...

Viral adaptation to host immune responses occurs in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and adaptation is greatest in HBV e antigen-negative disease [PDF]

, 2012
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T-cell responses are important in the natural history of HBV infection. The number of known HBV-specific T-cell epitopes is limited, and it is not clear whether viral evolution occurs in chronic HBV infection. We aimed to

Designing a conjugate vaccine targeting Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 and ST11

Heliyon
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a common bacterium that can cause iatrogenic infection. Recently, the rise of antibiotic resistance among K. pneumoniae strains is one key factor associated with antibiotic treatment failure.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 clade B superinfection:Evidence for differential immune containment of distinct clade B strains [PDF]

, 2005
Sequential infection with different strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a rarely identified phenomenon with important implications for immunopathogenesis and vaccine development.

Substantial differences in specificity of HIV-specific cytotoxic T cells in acute and chronic HIV infection [PDF]

, 2001
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a vital part in controlling viral replication during human viral infections. Most studies in human infections have focused on CTL specificities in chronic infection and few data exist regarding the specificity of the ...

Constrained pattern of viral evolution in acute and early HCV infection limits viral plasticity [PDF]

, 2011
Cellular immune responses during acute Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infection are a known correlate of infection outcome. Viral adaptation to these responses via mutation(s) within CD8+ T-cell epitopes allows these viruses to subvert host immune ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Human T cell responses to peptides of the Mycobacterium leprae 45-kD serine-rich antigen. [PDF]

, 2002
In order to identify T cell epitopes within the Mycobacterium leprae 45-kD serine-rich antigen, we analysed responses to overlapping 17-mer peptides encompassing the whole antigen in non-exposed UK controls, Pakistani leprosy patients and tuberculosis ...
