Computationally-driven identification of antibody epitopes
Understanding where antibodies recognize antigens can help define mechanisms of action and provide insights into progression of immune responses. We investigate the extent to which information about binding specificity implicitly encoded in amino acid sequence can be leveraged to identify antibody epitopes. In computationally-driven epitope localization, possible antibody-antigen binding modes ...
متن کاملIdentification of New Features from Known Bacterial Protective Vaccine Antigens Enhances Rational Vaccine Design
With many protective vaccine antigens reported in the literature and verified experimentally, how to use the knowledge mined from these antigens to support rational vaccine design and study underlying design mechanism remains unclear. In order to address the problem, a systematic bioinformatics analysis was performed on 291 Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial protective antigens with expe...
متن کاملEpitopes Identification for Vaccine Design and Structural Aspects of Dengue Virus 3 Envelope Protein
Dengue is one of the most imperative emerging vector-borne viral diseases. A foremost hitch in designing vaccine for the dengue virus has been the high antigenic variability in the envelope protein of different virus strains. To foster operational vaccines it is essential to target multiple antigenic components of the virus, thus focusing the immune system to protect the host from the virus. Co...
متن کاملHIV vaccine design: the neutralizing antibody conundrum.
A brief historical overview of anti-HIV vaccine approaches The identification of the human immunodeficiency virus as the causative agent of AIDS [1–4] was followed by intensive efforts to develop a vaccine against this pathogen. Initial vaccine approaches aimed at the elicitation of anti-viral neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). The sole target of anti-HIV NAbs is the viral envelope glycoprotein (E...
