The bioinformatics analyses reveal novel antigen epitopes in major outer membrane protein of Chlamydia trachomatis

Conclusion: We established the methods by using the biological information network technologies for looking the T-cell antigen epitopes and B-cell antigen epitopes in MOMP of CT, and three novel T-cell epitopes as well as three novel B-cell epitopes were identified in the current study. It provides important information for further studying the antigenicity of CT MOMP protein and also provides useful information for developing highly efficient subunit vaccines for CT.
