Identification of immunodominant epitopes of Schistosoma mansoni vaccine candidate antigens using human T cells
Paramyosin and Sm14 are two of the six antigens selected by the World Health Organization as candidates to compose a subunit vaccine against schistosomiasis. Both antigens are recognized by individuals naturally resistant to Schistosoma mansoni infection and induced protective immunity in the murine...
