Genomics and vaccine development.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current explosion in new high-throughput technologies arising from microbial and animal genomics studies is enabling the analysis of the genome, transcriptome, and proteome and offers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the molecular pathways underlying pathogen biology, the host immune system, and host-pathogen interactions. These new tools can be applied to veterinary pathogens to overcome some of the current hurdles in the discovery of highly effective vaccines for farmed livestock and poultry.

Designing the next generation of vaccines for global public health.
Vaccine research and development are experiencing a renaissance of interest from the global scientific community. There are four major reasons for this: (1) the lack of efficacious treatment for many devastating infections; (2) the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria; (3) the need for improving the safety of the more traditional licensed vaccines; and finally, (4) the great promise for in...
متن کاملGroup B streptococcal epidemiology and vaccine needs in developed countries.
Development of a group B streptococcal vaccine (GBS) vaccine is the most promising approach for the prevention of GBS infections in babies, given the potential adverse effects of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis as well as the need for effective prevention of both adult and late perinatal disease. There are numerous prevention strategies at this time but none are 100% effective in the eradica...
متن کاملArtificial intelligence & genetics
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision making—and already it is transforming every walk of life. AI has application...
متن کاملHigh-level expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli
Fragment C is the C-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin that can promote the immune response against the lethal dose of this toxin. Therefore, this portion can be considered as a candidate vaccine against tetanus infection, which occurs by Clostridium tetani. The present study aimed to compare the expression of tetanus toxin fragment C in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells...
متن کاملDeveloping vaccines in the era of genomics: a decade of reverse vaccinology.
Vaccines have a significant impact on public health, and vaccinology in the era of genomics is taking advantage of new technologies to tackle diseases for which vaccine development has so far been unsuccessful. Almost all existing vaccines were developed based on traditional vaccinology methods, which relied on empirical screening of a few candidates at a time, based on known features of the pa...
متن کاملThe Key Role of Genomics in Modern Vaccine and Drug Design for Emerging Infectious Diseases
It can be argued that the arrival of the "genomics era" has significantly shifted the paradigm of vaccine and therapeutics development from microbiological to sequence-based approaches. Genome sequences provide a previously unattainable route to investigate the mechanisms that underpin pathogenesis. Genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, structural genomics, proteomics, and immunomics are bei...
