Using the VirScan platform covering 4522 LSDV protein sequences, sera from 20 LSDV‐infected and 20 GTPV‐vaccinated cattle were used to screen phage libraries. Sequencing and bioinformatics analyses revealed peptides covering the TrLSDV103 protein. The candidate antigen was subsequently expressed, confirmed for its DIVA capability, and used to develop ...

T-cell epitope vaccine design by immunoinformatics [PDF]
Vaccination is generally considered to be the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases. All vaccinations work by presenting a foreign antigen to the immune system in order to evoke an immune response. The active agent of a vaccine may be intact but inactivated (‘attenuated’) forms of the causative pathogens (bacteria or viruses), or ...

High-throughput sequencing of the T-cell receptor repertoire: pitfalls and opportunities. [PDF]
T-cell specificity is determined by the T-cell receptor, a heterodimeric protein coded for by an extremely diverse set of genes produced by imprecise somatic gene recombination. Massively parallel high-throughput sequencing allows millions of different T-

Beyond Efficacy: Ensuring Safety in Peptide Therapeutics through Immunogenicity Assessment
Peptides are increasingly used in diagnosis and treatment due to their selectivity and low side effects. Over 11% of FDA‐approved drugs from 2016 to 2024 were synthetic peptides. However, immunogenicity—an adverse immune response—can limit their safety and efficacy.

IApred: A versatile open-source tool for predicting protein antigenicity across diverse pathogens
Accurate prediction of protein antigenicity is crucial for vaccine development, diagnostic test design, and therapeutic protein engineering. However, existing tools face limitations in accessibility, computational efficiency, and pathogen diversity. Here,

Human IgG2- and IgG4-expressing memory B cells display enhanced molecular and phenotypic signs of maturity and accumulate with age [PDF]
The mechanisms involved in sequential immunoglobulin G (IgG) class switching are still largely unknown. Sequential IG class switching is linked to higher levels of somatic hypermutation (SHM) in vivo, but it remains unclear if these are generated ...

In‐silico drug discovery pipeline for Mycetoma caused by Nocardia brasiliensis. A library of 1034 phytocompounds was screened to identify potent inhibitors, with Parviflorone F showing strong binding and stability against the 50S ribosomal unit. Molecular dynamics confirmed its inhibitory potential, offering a promising therapeutic candidate.
