In this study, we identified the Th epitopes in MrkD of Klebsiella pneumoniae, an excellent vaccine candidate antigen By using the RANKPEP prediction algorithm, we have identified and characterized three Th epitopes within the MrkD antigen, which can be recognized by CD4+ T cells from BALB/c (H-2(d)) mice They were M221-235, M175-189, and M264-278 These epitopes have important value for studying the immune response of K pneumoniae infection and for designing effective vaccine against K. pneumoniae (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
