Synthetic peptides elicit strong cellular immunity in Visceral Leishmaniasis na...
Brito, Rory Cristiane Fortes de; Cardoso, Jamille Mirelle de Oliveira; Reis, Levi Eduardo Soares; Mathias, Fernando Augusto SiqueiraReverse vaccinology or immunoinformatics is a computational methodology which integrates data from in silico epitope prediction, associated to other important information as, for example, the predicted subcellular location of the proteins used in the design of the context of vaccine development. This approach has the potential to search for new targets for vaccine development in the predicted proteome of pathog...
Peptide vaccines for leishmaniasis.
Brito, Rory Cristiane Fortes de; Cardoso, Jamille Mirelle de Oliveira; Reis, Levi Eduardo Soares; Vieira, João Filipe PereiraDue to an increase in the incidence of leishmaniases worldwide, the development of new strategies such as prophylactic vaccines to prevent infection and decrease the disease have become a high priority. Classic vaccines against leishmaniases were based on live or attenuated parasites or their subunits. Nevertheless, the use of whole parasite or their subunits for vaccine production has numerous disadvantages. T...
Emprego da vacinologia reversa para a identificação, triagem e avaliação de pep...
Brito, Rory Cristiane Fortes dePrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Farmacêuticas. CIPHARMA, Escola de Farmácia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.; No contexto de desenvolvimento de vacinas, a vacinologia reversa, ou imunoinformática, é uma abordagem que integra diferentes metodologias computacionais para a busca de alvos e o desenho de vacinas. Assim, a imunoinformática vem se destacando ao permitir o uso de programas para a predição de ...
A vaccine therapy for canine visceral leishmaniasis promoted significant improv...
Roatt, Bruno Mendes; Soares, Rodrigo Dian de Oliveira Aguiar; Reis, Levi Eduardo Soares; Cardoso, Jamille Mirelle de OliveiraHerein, we evaluated the treatment strategy employing a therapeutic heterologous vaccine composed of antigens of Leishmania braziliensis associated with MPL adjuvant (LBMPL vaccine) for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in symptomatic dogs naturally infected by Leishmania infantum. Sixteen dogs received immunotherapy with MPL adjuvant (n = 6) or with a vaccine composed of antigens of L. braziliensis associated with M...
Identificação de novos antígenos candidatos vacinais contra leishmaniose viscer...
Brito, Rory Cristiane Fortes dePrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Farmacêuticas. CIPHARMA, Escola de Farmácia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.; A leishmaniose visceral canina (LVC) é uma zoonose na América Latina, e o cão possui um papel central como reservatório do parasito e na transmissão da infecção para o vetor no ciclo urbano da Leishmania infantum. A vacinologia reversa permite realizar a predição de epítopos in silico de célul...
Immunoinformatics features linked to leishmania vaccine development : data inte...
Brito, Rory Cristiane Fortes de; Guimarães, Frederico Gonçalves; Velloso, João Paulo Linhares; Oliveira, Rodrigo Corrêa de; Ruiz, Jeronimo ConceiçãoLeishmaniasis is a wide-spectrum disease caused by parasites from Leishmania genus. There is no human vaccine available and it is considered by many studies as apotential effective tool for disease control. To discover novel antigens, computational programs have been used in reverse vaccinology strategies. In this work, we developed a validation antigen approach that integrates prediction of B and T cell epitop...
Molecular diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis : a comparative study of t...
Reis, Levi Eduardo Soares; Vital, Wendel Coura; Roatt, Bruno Mendes; Bouillet, Leoneide Érica Maduro; Ker, Henrique GamaPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its variations represent highly sensitive and specificmethods for Leishmania DNA detection and subsequent canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL)diagnosis. The aim of this work was to compare three different molecular diagnosis tech-niques (conventional PCR [cPCR], seminested PCR [snPCR], and quantitative PCR [qPCR])in samples of skin and spleen from 60 seropositive dogs by immun...
