Novel phage display-based subtractive screening to identify vaccine candidates of Brugia malayi.
This study describes a novel phage display method based on an iterative subtraction strategy to identify candidate vaccine antigens of Brugia malayi. A cDNA library of the infective larval stage of B. malayi expressed on the surface of T7 phage was sequentially screened with sera samples from human subjects showing different manifestations of the disease. Antigens that selectively and specifica...
متن کاملYeast-Based High-Throughput Screens to Identify Novel Compounds Active against Brugia malayi.
BACKGROUND Lymphatic filariasis is caused by the parasitic worms Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi or B. timori, which are transmitted via the bites from infected mosquitoes. Once in the human body, the parasites develop into adult worms in the lymphatic vessels, causing severe damage and swelling of the affected tissues. According to the World Health Organization, over 1.2 billion people in ...
متن کاملNovel approaches to identify protective malaria vaccine candidates
Efforts to develop vaccines against malaria have been the focus of substantial research activities for decades. Several categories of candidate vaccines are currently being developed for protection against malaria, based on antigens corresponding to the pre-erythrocytic, blood stage, or sexual stages of the parasite. Long lasting sterile protection from Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite challeng...
متن کاملLarge screen approaches to identify novel malaria vaccine candidates.
Until recently, malaria vaccine development efforts have focused almost exclusively on a handful of well characterized Plasmodium falciparum antigens. Despite dedicated work by many researchers on different continents spanning more than half a century, a successful malaria vaccine remains elusive. Sequencing of the P. falciparum genome has revealed more than five thousand genes, providing the f...
