Abstract:
The success of genome projects has provided us with a vast amount of information on genes of many pathogenic species and has raised hopes for rapid progress in combating infectious diseases, both by construction of new effective vaccines and by creating a new generation of therapeutic drugs. Proteomics, a strategy complementary to the genomic-based approach, when combined with immunomics (looking for immunogenic proteins) and vaccinomics (characterization of host response to immunization), delivers valuable information on pathogen-host cell interaction. It also speeds the identification and detailed characterization of new antigens, which are potential candidates for vaccine development. This review begins with an overview of the global status of vaccinology based on WHO data. The main part of this review describes the impact of proteomic strategies on advancements in constructing effective antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer vaccines. Diverse aspects of disease mechanisms and disease preventions have been investigated by proteomics.

Proteomics
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term proteomics...

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
