Subtractive proteomics assisted therapeutic targets mining and designing ensemble vaccine against Candida auris for immune response induction.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of variants and the reports of co-infection caused by Candida auris in COVID-19 patients adds a further complication to the global pandemic situation. To date, no effective therapy is available for C. auris infections. Thus, characterization of therapeutic targets and designing effective vaccine candidates using subtractive proteomics and immune-informatics approaches is useful tool in controlling the emerging infections associated with SARS-CoV-2. In the current study, subtractive proteomics-assisted annotation of the vaccine targets was performed, which revealed seven vaccine targets. An immunoinformatic-driven approach was then employed to map protein-specific and proteome-wide immunogenic peptides (CTL, B cell, and HTL) for the design of multi-epitope vaccine candidates (
