Article Abstract

is mainly responsible for sepsis, urethritis, and respiratory tract infections. These bacteria may affect the transcription of the host and particularly their immune system by producing changes in their epigenetics. In the present study, four proteins of were used to predict the epitopes for the construction of an mRNA vaccine against infections. In order to generate cellular and humoral responses, various immunoinformatic-based approaches were used for developing the vaccine. The molecular docking analysis was performed for predicting the interaction among the chosen epitopes and corresponding MHC alleles. The vaccine was developed by combining epitopes (thirty-three total), which include the adjuvant Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4). The constructed vaccine was analyzed and predicted to cover 99.2% of the global population. Additionally, in silico immunological modeling of the vaccination was also carried out. When it enters the cytoplasm of the human (host), the codon is optimized to generate the translated mRNA efficiently. Moreover, the peptide structures were analyzed and docked with TLR-3 and TLR-4. A dynamic simulation predicted the stability of the binding complex. The assumed construct was considered to be a potential candidate for a vaccine against infections. Hence, the proposed construct is suitable for in vitro analyses to validate its effectiveness.

The rapid increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and biofilm-associated infections has intensified the global need for innovative antimicrobial strategies. Phage therapy offers promising precision against MDR pathogens by utilizing the natural ability of phages to specifically infect and lyse bacteria. However, their clinical application is hampered by challenges such as narrow host range, immune clearance and limited efficacy within biofilms.

Parasitic infections of the central nervous system (CNS) represent a considerable health burden in low- and middle-income countries. During chronic disease, parasites modulate host immunity to ensure long-term persistence while limiting collateral tissue damage. A key feature of this immune remodeling is the progressive T-cell dysfunction that may culminate in T-cell exhaustion, characterized by increased expression of inhibitory receptors (TIM-3, LAG-3, KLRG1), checkpoint molecules (PD-1, PD-L1), suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1), and arginase-1.

Respiratory system diseases, including infections, inflammation, fibrosis, cancer, and others, impose a substantial burden on human health worldwide. The respiratory tract is constantly exposed to external stimuli due to its connection with the outside environment. Therefore, the immune system plays a crucial role in respiratory diseases.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes of severe respiratory diseases in children, especially in infants. The immune responses induced by RSV infection are a fairly complex process that can contribute significantly to disease severity. Despite decades of research on RSV, many immune mechanisms remain to be explored.
