Codon Optimization> | To ensure the high-level protein expression in E. coli, reverse translation and codon optimization were performed using Codon Usage Wrangler and GenScript Rare Codon Analysis, respectively.The GenScript Rare Codon Analysis at https://www.genscript.com/tools/rarecodon-analysis evaluates the key features of the DNA sequence such as codon adaptation index (CAI), GC content, and codon frequency distribution (CFD). Reverse translation of the protein sequence was performed by the Wrangler server, and then the sequence was submitted to the GenScript server for considering key parameters that influence the protein expression level in the E. coli host. | Get A Quote |
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar, the most severe form of the disease, is endemic in more than eighty countries across the world. To date, there is no approved vaccine against VL in the market. Recent advances in reverse vaccinology could be promising approach in designing the efficient vaccine for VL treatment. In this study, an efficient multi-epitope vaccine against Leishmania infantum, the causative agent of VL, was designed using various computational vaccinology methods. Potential immunodominant epitopes were selected from four antigenic proteins, including histone H1, sterol 24-c-methyltransferase (SMT), Leishmania-specific hypothetical protein (LiHy), and Leishmania-specific ...
