abstract

shigella and escherichia belong to the enterobacteriaceae family which are the cause for most of the diarrheal cases in the world. shigella can cause bacterial dysenteries and shigellosis. one of the most effective proteins for pathogenesis is invasion plasmid antigen c (ipac). other bacteria like enterotoxogenic (etec), enterohemorrhagic (ehec), and e.coli can also cause diarrhea and produce intestinal disorders. colonization factor antigen i (cfa/i), a critical virulence protein for these infections, has two subunits i.e. cfab and cfae. ehec attachment of bacteria is the main step of infection with intimin playing the key role in this function. this study was designed to elicit protection against the majority of diarrheal pathogens via development of polyvalent vaccine against shigella, etec and ehec. in silico techniques are as best tools to design new vaccines. for this purpose the immunogenic epitopes of cfab, ipac and intimin were identified through bioinformatic tools and were then selected as major antigens to construct a chimeric protein (cii). the humoral and cellular immunities were analyzed bioinformatically. prediction of allergens and mapping of ige epitopes were carried out. the bioinformatic analysis showed each domain was folded separately in fusion structure. cii had many t and b cell epitopes in both linear and three-dimensional structures. this prediction of the chimeric construct had the potential to induce cd4+ and cd8+ immune responses against these pathogens. in addition cii could be accessible to surveillance by the immune system in mouse and human. in conclusion, in silico analysis showed that this chimeric protein can be used as a vaccine against shigella, etec and ehec simultaneously.

طراحی یک کاندید واکسن نوترکیب حاوی پروتئین هایی از سه باکتری EHEC، ETEC و شیگلا دیسانتری در باکتری E.coli و بررسی ایمنی هومورال آن در موش

Background and purpose: Different genera of enterobacteriaceae have important roles in gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea. Among these, Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), and Shigella are three main bacteria which are transmitted via contaminated food and water. Vaccination is a good strategy to combat these pathogens. In the present study, a chimeric anti...

In silico Evaluation of PLAC1-fliC As a Chimeric Vaccine against Breast Cancer

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women. Common cancer treatment methods are not effective enough, and there is a need for a more efficient treatment procedure. Cancer vaccine is a novel immunotherapy method that stimulates humoral and/or cellular immunity against cancer. Placenta-specific protein 1 (PLAC1) is a cancer/testis antigen, prevalent in breast cance...

Design and Production of a Novel Recombinant Chimeric IL2-Omp31 Antigen against Brucella Infection

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease in human and animals. Brucella melitensis is one of the most pathogenic species of Brucella in goat and sheep. Omp31 is an outer membrane protein of Brucella that acts as an immunogenic protein. Cytokines are glycoproteins with low molecular weight that play the role of an immune adjuvant and regulate immune responses. Interleukin-2 is one of the most important...

Diarrheal diseases still remain health problem worldwide and out of many bacteria responsible for, Shigella and pathogenic Escherichia cause the most diarrheas in the world. Shigellacause bacterial dysenteries and shigellosis through invasion where the most effective proteins for pathogenesis is Ipac. Critical virulence protein for ETEC infection is CFA/I with two subunits called cfab and cfae....
