Campylobacter has been reported to be the cause of community-acquired infection and is often presented in immunocompromised individuals as acute gastrointestinal illness. It is also often transmitted through undercooked poultry products. Campylobacter also causes significant morbidity, leading to huge cases of disability but limited mortality (there can be about 75,000 annual fatal cases). Heat shock proteins are defined as a group of highly conserved and regulated proteins which are known to play vital roles in enabling diverse organisms cope with physiological stress. Thus, this study used an immunoinformatic approach to design a multi-epitope based vaccine that is targeted against Campylobacter spp. and related infections using Heat shock protein sequences. Designed subunit vaccine was evaluated for its antigenicity, immunogenicity, allergenicity and phys.. Read More»
