Abstract:Background
Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STI) worldwide. Vaccination is generally considered to be one of the most effective methods of preventing infectious diseases. Using AP65, AP33 and α-actinin proteins, this research aims to develop a protein vaccine against Trichomonas vaginalis.
Methods
Based on the B-cell and T-cell epitope prediction servers, the most antigenic epitopes were selected, an… Show more
