In silicoidentification and modification of T cell epitopes in pertussis antigens associated with tolerance

Abstract excerpt

The resurgence of whooping cough since the introduction of acellular (protein) vaccines has led to a renewed interest in the development of improved pertussis vaccines; Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) carrying pertussis antigens have emerged as viable candidates. An in silico immunogenicity screen was carried out on 49 well-known Bordetella pertussis proteins in order to better understand their potential role...
