ABSTRACT

 

Singh SP, Khan F Mishra BN Genomic prediction for T lymphocyte epitopes on Plasmodium falciparum (Malaria). Onl J Bioinform, 25 (1) : 49-59, 2024. Plasmodium falciparum expresses different antigens during development with a 23 Mb genome that encodes ~>5300 proteins, targets for immune response. Because immune responses to Plasmodium are dispersed over a large number of antigens, effective vaccine must include highly conserved epitopes.  ProPred and ProPred1 were used to predict genome/proteome promiscuous helper T lymphocytes (HTL) and cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) epitopes in P. falciparum.
