Computer aided selection of candidate vaccine antigens
Immunoinformatics is an emergent branch of informatics science that long ago pullulated from the tree of knowledge that is bioinformatics. It is a discipline which applies informatic techniques to problems of the immune system. To a great extent, immunoinformatics is typified by epitope prediction methods. It has found disappointingly limited use in the design and discovery of new vaccines, whi...
متن کاملInterferon-γ responses to Plasmodium falciparum vaccine candidate antigens decrease in the absence of malaria transmission
BACKGROUND Malaria elimination campaigns are planned or active in many countries. The effects of malaria elimination on immune responses such as antigen-specific IFN- γ responses are not well characterized. METHODS IFN- γ responses to the P. falciparum antigens circumsporozoite protein, liver stage antigen-1, thrombospondin-related adhesive protein, apical membrane antigen-1, MB2, and merozoi...
متن کاملVaccine Trials for the Clinician: Prospects for Tumor Antigens.
Recent insights in antigen presentation, the identification of human tumor antigens, and the demonstration of MHC class-I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) recognition of peptides encoded by tumor antigen have renewed the interest and enthusiasm for the development of cancer vaccines. Melanoma serves as a paradigm of an immunogenic human tumor, and several tumor antigens, including MAGE, ...

متن کاملHuman immune responses to Schistosoma mansoni vaccine candidate antigens.
To determine the naturally occurring immunological responses to the Schistosoma mansoni antigens paramyosin, IrV-5, Sm-23 (MAP-3), and triose phosphate isomerase (MAP-4), a total of 119 subjects from an area of endemicity for schistosomiasis, including "resistant" subjects (n = 17) were evaluated. Specific immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, and IgA levels for each of the antigens and t...
