OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need for a more effective vaccine against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Although CD4+ T cells play a central role in host immunity to Mtb, recent evidence suggests a critical role of CD8+ T cells in combating Mtb. In the present study, we have predicted HLA antigen class I binding peptides of DosR operon using an in-silico approach. This method is useful as an initial...
