چکیده

Background and Objectives: Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an emerging multi-drug resistant pathogen causing significant mortality inhospitalized ICU patients. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has increased mortality and costs of treatment. The design of a vaccine against A. baumannii would have a great beneficial impact on public health. Materials and Methods: Three known antigenic proteins from A. baumannii ( OmpA,Phospholipase D and Bap ) were analyzed for the prediction of immunogenic B cell and Tcell epitopes, using online algorithms. Based on in silico analysis, epitope-rich domains including highly scored T cell and B cell epitope were selected and designed protein validated using the ProSA-web, Molprobity and the Ramachandran plot. The obtained highquality model was applied for conformational B-cell epitopes selection and docking analyses with toll like receptor 4 (TLR4). The affinity and the map of interactions between the receptor (TLR4) and recombinant protein were investigated via docking protocols. Result: Molecular dynamic studies demonstrated that the recombinant protein-TLR4 docked model was stable during simulation time. We believe that our vaccine candidate is able to induce IgG antibodies, and Th1/Th17-mediated protective immunity that are crucial for eradicating A. baumannii infection. Conclusion: The in silico analysis showed that the designed recombinant protein ( OmpA,Phospholipase D and Bap ) could be considered as apromising vaccine candidate against A. baumannii.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
