In silico Analysis of Pasteurella multocida PlpE Protein Epitopes As Novel Subunit Vaccine Candidates

Molecular heterogeneity of plpE gene in Indian isolates of Pasteurella multocida and expression of recombinant PlpE in vaccine strain of P. multocida serotype B: 2

Outer membrane proteins of Pasteurella (P.) multocida have been known to be protective immunogens. Pasteurella lipoprotein E (PlpE) has been reported to be an important cross reactive outer membrane protein in P. multocida. The gene encoding the PlpE of P. multocida serotypes A: 3, B: 2 and D: 1 was amplified from the genomic DNA. The amplified products were cloned and the nucleotide sequence w...

In silico analysis of Omp25 and BLS Brucella melitensis antigens for designing subunit vaccine

Brucellosis is a well-known infection in domestic animals which caused by Brucella bacterium. Due toserious economic and medical consequences of this disease, various efforts have been made to prevent theinfection through the use of recombinant vaccines based on Brucella outer membrane protein (OMP)antigens. The objectives of the present study were cloning, sequencing and epitope prediction of ...

Identification of novel immunogens in Pasteurella multocida

UNLABELLED P. multocida is a Gram-negative pathogen responsible for causing diseases in animals of economic significance to livestock industries throughout the world. Current vaccines include bacterins, which provide only limited protection against homologous serotypes. Therefore there is a need for more effective vaccines to control diseases caused by P. multocida. As a step towards developing...

Characterization of Avian Pasteurella multocida Isolates by Protein Profiles and Restriction Enzyme Analysis of Chromosomal DNA

Designing a Construct of Chimeric Multi-Epitopes Protein for Contraceptive Vaccine in Mice: An Immunoinformatics and In Silico Study

Background: Contraceptive vaccines (CVs) can be used as a valuable and alternative method for the prevention of gestation in humans and animals. These vaccines can have several targets, such as superficial sperm proteins. Vaccines based on sperm antigens are quite efficacious to create a contraceptive effect. However, multi-epitope vaccines are more effective in stimulating the immune system an...

OprF and OprL Conjugate as Vaccine Candidates against Pseudomonas aeruginosa; an in Silico Study

Introduction: Vaccine studies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa have often focused on outer membrane proteins (OPRs) due to their potent stimulation of the immune response. Using major outer membrane proteins of cell walls (mOMPs) of P. aeruginosa and other Gram-negative bacteria actively stimulate the immune system without any toxic side effects. Moreover, these antigens show immunological cross-...
