Structural vaccinology starts to deliver

Abstract

Following the impact of the genomics revolution on vaccine research and the development of reverse vaccinology, it was predicted that another new approach, structure-based antigen design, would become a driving force for vaccine innovation. Now, 5 years on, there are several examples of how structure-based design, or structural vaccinology, can deliver new vaccine antigens that were not possible before. Here, we discuss some of these examples and the contribution of structural vaccinology to our understanding of the protective epitopes of important bacterial and viral pathogens.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
