The generalized modules of membrane antigen-(GMMA-) based outer membrane proteins including SigA were also shown to be highly immunogenic [12] , which prompted us to target SigA as one of the best vaccine candidates and to design potential peptide vaccine covering all the Shigella spp. The SigA protein sequences of different strains of Shigella species were retrieved from the NCBI GenBank [22] database and analysed in the VaxiJen v2.0 [23] server for the determination of the most potent antigenic protein. IEDB analysis resource predicted both MHC class I-and MHC class II-based coverage of the selected epitopes for the world population to assess the feasibility of being a potential vaccine candidate. ./cache/cord-002686-zzongyfa.txt ./txt/cord-002686-zzongyfa.txt
