Evaluating immunogenicity of pathogen-derived T-cell epitopes to design a peptide-based smallpox vaccine
Abstract Despite the eradication in 1980, developing safe and effective smallpox vaccines remains an active area of research due to the recent outbreaks and the public health concern that smallpox viruses could be used as bioterrorism weapons. Identifying immunogenic peptides (epitopes) would create...
