Immuno screening of cDNA library has been the most preferred choice to pick up desired gene from a pool of genome.We have identified three novel immunodominant cDNA clones, BmL3-thioredoxin, BmL3-hydrolase and BmL3-Cytochrome P450 by immunoscreening of a larval stage cDNA library of Brugiamalayi. Currently there are no adulticidal drugs or vaccines available against worms that are causative agents of lymphatic filariasis. The identified clones can be potent vaccine candidates for developing prophylactic agents against the human filarial parasite. Nucleotide sequences reported in this paper are available in the GenBank™, EMBL, and DDBJ databases under the accession no: Gen Bank: EU684476.1, Gen Bank: EU519463, Gen Bank: EU668900
