Mycobacterium tuberculosis epitope-specific interferon-g production in healthy Brazilians reactive and non-reactive to tuberculin skin test

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2014
The interferon (IFN)-γ response to peptides can be a useful diagnostic marker of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) latent infection.

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

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

Determination of a predictive cleavage motif for eluted major histocompatibility complex class II ligands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
CD4+ T cells have a major role in regulating immune responses. They are activated by recognition of peptides mostly generated from exogenous antigens through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II pathway.

The Major Soybean Allergen Gly m Bd 28K Induces Hypersensitivity Reactions in Mice Sensitized to Cow's Milk Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Reactions to soy have been reported in a proportion of patients with IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy (CMA). In this work, we analyzed if Gly m Bd 28K/P28, one of the major soybean allergens, is a cross-reactive allergen with cow milk proteins (CMP).

CD4+ Th immunogenicity of the Ascaris spp. secreted products [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Ascaris spp. is a major health problem of humans and animals alike, and understanding the immunogenicity of its antigens is required for developing urgently needed vaccines.

CD8+ T-cell responses in vaccination: Reconsidering targets and function in the context of chronic antigen stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cytotoxic CD8 T cells play important roles in eliminating infected and transformed cells. Owing to their potential for therapeutic applications, significant efforts are dedicated toward developing CD8 T cell-based vaccines.

Autoimmunity to Tropomyosin-Specific Peptides Induced by Mycobacterium leprae in Leprosy Patients: Identification of Mimicking Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
BackgroundIt has been shown earlier that there is a rise in the levels of autoantibodies and T cell response to cytoskeletal proteins in leprosy. Our group recently demonstrated a rise in both T and B cell responses to keratin and myelin basic protein in

The Humoral Theory of Transplantation: Epitope Analysis and the Pathogenicity of HLA Antibodies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Central to the humoral theory of transplantation is production of antibodies by the recipient against mismatched HLA antigens in the donor organ. Not all mismatches result in antibody production, however, and not all antibodies are pathogenic.

T-cell epitopes of the major peach allergen, Pru p 3: Identification and differential T-cell response of peach-allergic and non-allergic subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs), particularly peach Pru p 3, are the most relevant plant food allergens in the South of Europe, and, therefore, their allergic properties have been extensively studied.

Neural message passing for joint paratope-epitope prediction [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Antibodies are proteins in the immune system which bind to antigens to detect and neutralise them. The binding sites in an antibody-antigen interaction are known as the paratope and epitope, respectively, and the prediction of these regions is key to vaccine and synthetic antibody development.
