Rickettsia rickettsii is the causative pathogen of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). Adr2, YbgF and OmpB are protective antigens of R. rickettsii. In this study, 90 candidate peptides were selected from these antigens based on their high-affinity binding capacity for the MHC class II molecule H2 I-A or H2 I-E using bioinformatic methods. Six peptides were determined using ELISPOT assay to be immunodominant...
Two surface proteins of Rickettsia rickettsii, outer membrane protein B (OmpB) and adhesion 2 (Adr2), have been recognized as protective antigens. Herein, the immunization with both OmpB and Adr2 was performed in mice so as to explore whether their combination could induce an enhanced immunoprotection against R. rickettsii infection.C3H/HeN mice were immunized with recombinant protein rAdr2 or/and...
