Abstract We previously developed TANTIGEN, a comprehensive online database cataloging more than 1000 T cell epitopes and HLA ligands from 292 tumor antigens. In TANTIGEN 2.0, we significantly expanded coverage in both immune response targets (T ligands) It catalogs 4,296 antigen variants 403 unique antigens 1500 ligands. also included neoantigens, class of generated through mutations resulting ...

Objective(s): To design a multivalent DNA vaccine encoding the most immunogenic regions of the Leishmania major antigens including TSA (Thiol-specific antioxidant protein), LmSTI1 (Leishmania major stress-inducible protein1), LACK (Leishmania homologue of receptors for activated C Kinase), and KMP11 (kinetoplastid membrane protein-11) on BALB/c mice.M...

Diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis is complex and has to be confirmed by the combination immunological tests imaging techniques. In this study heat shock proteins were induced their immunoreactivity was assessed ELISA. Sera collected from 34 hydatid patients who admitted Rizgary Teaching Hospital through October 2013 July 2017, in addition 29 healthy donors 18 non-hydatid cases. For response, t...

the object of this cross sectional study was to determine the hcv subtype 3a envelope protein binding affinity with human leukocyte antigen. envelope 1 (e1) protein is one of the structural proteins responsible for entering the cells through the receptors. the binding affinity of e1 protein epitopes to the selected human leukocyte antigen (hla) class i alleles was investigated using the compute...

Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the main causes of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) such as  prostatitis and epididymitis in men and cervicitis, endometriosis, vaginitis and ureogenital tract infections in women.  Serological tests with sensitivities related to specific antigens are commonly used as  routine laboratory tests for diagnosis of Chlamydia. In this research the Chlamydia Major O...

serological methods are commonly used methods for detection of viruses. preparation of pure viral antigens is a crucial step in production of antibodies required for serological studies. in this research the gene encoding coat protein of a beet western yellows virus (bwyv) isolate from iran was amplified by pcr and was ligated into a bacterial expression vector (pet26b) to obtain pet-bwyv-cp cl...

Next-generation precision antibody profiling; from science fiction to reality The purpose of the TopSpec project is develop tools establish sequence repertoire human antibodies and their respective antigens, better understand how organism defends itself against diseases. Results obtained confirm that this a breakthrough technology will revolutionise academic, clinical industrial proteomics dram...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes encoding immunologically relevant proteins were isolated by systematically screening a lambda gt11 recombinant DNA expression library with a collection of murine monoclonal antibodies directed against protein antigens of this pathogen. These antibodies, previously characterized by a World Health Organization workshop on monoclonal antibodies against mycobacteria...

phage elisa is a common method to confirm binding of obtained phages from phage display technique to related antigens. enzyme-conjugated antibody directed against the major capsid protein (pviii) or enzyme-conjugated secondary antibody against the primary antibody is used as a detection system in phage elisa. we have suggested to express an acid phosphatase (sapm) enzyme on m13 pix minor coat p...
