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 ...

Designing a Multi-Epitope Vaccine against Toxoplasma gondii: An Immunoinformatics Approach

Vaccines, 2022
Infection with the intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes serious clinical outcomes in both human and veterinary settings worldwide. Although approximately one-third of the world’s population is infected with T. gondii, an effective

Differential narrow focusing of immunodominant human immunodeficiency virus Gag-specific cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte responses in infected African and Caucasoid adults and children [PDF]

, 2000
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity plays a central role in control of viral replication and in determining outcome in cases of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.

Phage Display Detection of Mimotopes that Are Shared Epitopes of Clinically and Epidemiologically Relevant Enterobacteria

Microorganisms, 2020
Background: Escherichia coli and Salmonella are etiologic agents of intestinal infections. A previous study showed the presence of shared epitopes between lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of E. coli O157 and Salmonella.

Removing celiac disease-related gluten proteins from bread wheat while retaining technological properties: a study with Chinese Spring deletion lines [PDF]

, 2009
Background Gluten proteins can induce celiac disease (CD) in genetically susceptible individuals. In CD patients gluten-derived peptides are presented to the immune system, which leads to a CD4+ T-cell mediated immune response and inflammation of the ...

Orf Virus-Based Vaccine Vector D1701-V Induces Strong CD8+ T Cell Response against the Transgene but Not against ORFV-Derived Epitopes

Vaccines, 2020
The potency of viral vector-based vaccines depends on their ability to induce strong transgene-specific immune response without triggering anti-vector immunity.

Epitope spreading

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1996
Epitope (determinant) spreading is the development of immune responses to endogenous epitopes secondary to the release of self antigens during a chronic autoimmune or inflammatory response. The past year has seen considerable advances in our understanding of the contribution of epitope spreading to the chronic pathogenesis of experimental T-cell ...

Next-generation sequencing and immuno-informatics for designing a multi-epitope vaccine against HSV-1-induced uveitis

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundUveitis, characterized by intraocular inflammation, poses significant clinical challenges, often leading to vision impairment or blindness. Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a major cause of virus-induced uveitis. This study aims to design
