Immunoinformatics and molecular dynamics studies to predict T-cell-specific epitopes of four Klebsiella pneumoniae fimbriae antigens

Abstract excerpt

Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a causative agent of severe infections in humans. There is no publically available vaccine for K. pneumoniae infections yet. Here, using comprehensive immunoinformatics methods, T-cell-specific epitopes of four type 1 fimbriae antigens of K. pneumoniae were predicted and evaluated as potential vaccine candidates. Both CD8+ (class I) and CD4+ (class II) T-cell-specific...
