Transcriptional and immunological analysis of the putative outer membrane protein and vaccine candidate TprL of Treponema pallidum
26 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An effective syphilis vaccine should elicit antibodies to Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. p. pallidum) surface antigens to induce pathogen clearance through opsonophagocytosis. Although the combination of bioinformatics, structural, and functional analyses of T. p. pallidum genes to identify putative outer membrane proteins (OMPs) resulted in a list of potential vaccine candidates, still very...
