X Abstract

TEPITOPE is a prediction model that has been successfully applied to the in silico identification of T cell epitopes in the context of oncology, allergy, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases. Like most epitope prediction models, TEPITOPE's underlying algorithm is based on the prediction of HLA-II peptide binding, which constitutes a major bottleneck in the natural selection of epitopes. An important step in the design of subunit vaccines is the identification of promiscuous HLA-II ligands in sets of disease-specific gene products. TEPITOPE's user interface enables the systematic prediction of promiscuous peptide ligands for a broad range of HLA-binding specificity. We show how to apply the TEPITOPE prediction model to identify T cell epitopes, and provide both a road map and examples of its successful application.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
