Abstract: Antigens from multiple sources is a promising strategy to effectively stimulate all immuno-phenotypic sections of a diverse population. Therefore, combination of  multiple protective antigens is a rationale strategy to boost immunogenicity of the vaccine designed for immunization in heterogeneous population as well as to use in  effective diagnosis in all endemic areas. The strategy to combine antigens isisis to construct a fusion chimeric multivalent antigen. The present invention relates to the  diagnostic and vaccine potential of a recombinant multiantigenic T cell epitope enriched fusion protein comprising of three Leishmania donovani proteins, glycoprotein  63 (GP63), elongation factor 1 a (EF1-a) and cysteine protease C (CPC) against visceral leishmaniasis. The said invention in particular relates to designing, cloning and  purification of a novel T cell enriched multiantigenic recombinant protein for detection of Leishmania infection in the form of antigen-specific antibodies in the  biological samples such as serum and urine. Additionally the said fusion protein is used to the protective efficacy of the antigen in BALB/c mice against experimental  visceral leishmaniasis.
