| Research Abstract |
Identification of parameters influencing the effectiveness of vaccine antigens for leishmaniasis was searched in this study. Statistical analyses revealed amino acid composition, expression level, and localization to exosome were influential parameters. A formula based on the three parameters discriminated the previously characterized vaccine antigens from the whole proteome. Furthermore, novel antigens identified using the formula were as antigenic as the known antigens. These results suggest the in silico approach developed is useful to identify candidate vaccine antigens for leishmaniasis.
