Ligand-induced Epitope Masking
We previously demonstrated that Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing ligand-mimetic inhibitors of integrins are unable to dissociate pre-formed integrin-fibronectin complexes (IFCs). These observations suggested that amino acid residues involved in integrin-fibronectin binding become obscured in the ligand-occupied state. Because the epitopes of some function-blocking anti-integrin monoclonal antibodie...
متن کاملB-cell Epitope Prediction
When a living organism encounters a pathogenic virus ormicrobe, the B cells of the immune system recognize the pathogen’s antigens by their membrane-bound immunoglobulin receptors and, in response, produce antibodies specific to these antigens. The term antigen refers to any entity—a cell, a macromolecular assembly, or a molecule—that may be bound by either a B-cell receptor or an antibody mole...
متن کاملEpitope Mapping: B-cell Epitopes
Immunoglobulin molecules are folded in a way that assembles sequences from the variable regions of both the heavy and light chains into a surface feature (comprised of up to six complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)) that is complementary in shape to a surface structure on the antigen. These two surface features, the ‘paratope’ on the antibody and the ‘epitope’ on the antigen, may have a c...
متن کاملAn Introduction to B-Cell Epitope Mapping and In Silico Epitope Prediction
Identification of B-cell epitopes is a fundamental step for development of epitope-based vaccines, therapeutic antibodies, and diagnostic tools. Epitope-based antibodies are currently the most promising class of biopharmaceuticals. In the last decade, in-depth in silico analysis and categorization of the experimentally identified epitopes stimulated development of algorithms for epitope predict...
متن کاملApplying Stacked and Cascade Generalizations to B-cell Epitope Prediction
One of the major challenges in the field of vaccine design is to identify the B-cell epitopes in ever-evolving viruses. Various prediction servers have been developed to predict linear or conformational epitopes, each relying on different physicochemical properties and adopting distinct search strategies. We propose meta learning approaches to epitope prediction based on stacked generalization ...
