چکیده

b ackground: l eishmania is an intracellular parasite infecting humans and many wild and domestic animals. recent studies have suggested an important role for cytotoxic t cells against leishmania . peptide-based vaccines targeting short sequences derived from known immunogenic proteins have been shown to elicit cellular immune responses against disparate pathogens. m ethods: we predicted four hla-a2 peptides derived from l. mexican/major gp63 and tested these in hhd ii mice, as well as four peptides for mouse mhc class i from the same proteins tested in balb/ mice. r esults: the results revealed immunogenicity for three of the four peptides predicted for hla-a2.immunisation with these peptides, along with ifa, induced ctl responses detected by standard 4- hour cytotoxicity assay and significantly upregulated the production of ifn-γ. when hhdii mice were injected im with l. mexicana gp63 cdna and splenocytes were restimulated with blasts loaded with the immunogenic peptides, two of the peptides were able to induce significant level of ifn-γ detected by elisa. none of the peptides predicted for balb/c mouse mhc class i elicited ctl ac- tivity or significantly upregulated the ifn-γ. c onclusion: the results may help in developing a peptide-based vaccine, which can be applied alone or in combination with drugs against leishmania .

Immunogenicity of MHC Class I Peptides Derived from Leishmania mexicana Gp63 in HLA-A2.1 Transgenic (HHDII) and BALB/C Mouse Models

BACKGROUND Leishmania is an intracellular parasite infecting humans and many wild and domestic animals. Recent studies have suggested an important role for cytotoxic T cells against Leishmania. Peptide-based vaccines targeting short sequences derived from known immunogenic proteins have been shown to elicit cellular immune responses against disparate pathogens. METHODS We predicted four HLA-A...

Properties of MHC Class I Presented Peptides That Enhance Immunogenicity

T-cells have to recognize peptides presented on MHC molecules to be activated and elicit their effector functions. Several studies demonstrate that some peptides are more immunogenic than others and therefore more likely to be T-cell epitopes. We set out to determine which properties cause such differences in immunogenicity. To this end, we collected and analyzed a large set of data describing ...

Immunogenicity of HLA Class I and II Double Restricted Influenza A-Derived Peptides

The aim of the present study was to identify influenza A-derived peptides which bind to both HLA class I and -II molecules and by immunization lead to both HLA class I and class II restricted immune responses. Eight influenza A-derived 9-11mer peptides with simultaneous binding to both HLA-A*02:01 and HLA-DRB1*01:01 molecules were identified by bioinformatics and biochemical technology. Immuniz...

Association between HLA-Class I and HLA-Class II Alleles and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection in Iraqi Patients from Baghdad City

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) is one of the endemic diseases in Iraq, and among the suggested predisposing factors are alleles of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. We sought to investigate the association between HLA-class I (A and B) and -class II (DR and DQ) alleles in a sample of PT Iraqi patients.Methods: lymphocytes of 105 PT patients and 40 controls were phenotyped for H...
