Abstract:Background:
Chlamydiasis is a widespread bacterial infection in the world. Serological
tests are expensive, and in addition, intrinsic antigens can cause cross-reactions and make the diagnosis process difficult. Multi-epitope protein antigens are novel and potential diagnostic markers
that have the capability of more accurate and cheaper diagnosis. Therefore, in this study, the main
goal is to design a new protein vaccine, including multiple epitopes of B cells with dominant immunity from three proteins named … Show more
