AntigenMap 3D: an online antigenic cartography resource
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY Antigenic cartography is a useful technique to visualize and minimize errors in immunological data by projecting antigens to 2D or 3D cartography. However, a 2D cartography may not be sufficient to capture the antigenic relationship from high-dimensional immunological data. AntigenMap 3D presents an online, interactive, and robust 3D antigenic cartography construction and visualization resource. AntigenMap 3D can be applied to identify antigenic variants and vaccine strain candidates for pathogens with rapid antigenic variations, such as influenza A virus.

A Computational Framework for Influenza Antigenic Cartography
Influenza viruses have been responsible for large losses of lives around the world and continue to present a great public health challenge. Antigenic characterization based on hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay is one of the routine procedures for influenza vaccine strain selection. However, HI assay is only a crude experiment reflecting the antigenic correlations among testing antigens (vi...
متن کاملConcepts and Techniques of an Online 3D Atlas - Challenges in Cartographic 3D Geovisualization
To meet the challenges of future digital atlas publication, a concept for an online 3D atlas platform (APS) has been developed. This framework should have the potential for combining interactive thematic cartography with real-time 3D atlas technology. As to system design, the APS will consist of extensible modules for spatial navigation, map visualization and information retrieval, integrated i...
متن کاملUse of antigenic cartography in vaccine seed strain selection.
Human influenza A viruses are classic examples of antigenically variable pathogens that have a seemingly endless capacity to evade the host's immune response. The viral hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) proteins are the main targets of our antibody response to combat infections. HA and NA continuously change to escape from humoral immunity, a process known as antigenic drift. As a resul...
متن کاملAntigenic cartography of H1N1 influenza viruses using sequence-based antigenic distance calculation
BACKGROUND The ease at which influenza virus sequence data can be used to estimate antigenic relationships between strains and the existence of databases containing sequence data for hundreds of thousands influenza strains make sequence-based antigenic distance estimates an attractive approach to researchers. Antigenic mismatch between circulating strains and vaccine strains results in signific...
متن کاملInference of Genotype–Phenotype Relationships in the Antigenic Evolution of Human Influenza A (H3N2) Viruses
Distinguishing mutations that determine an organism's phenotype from (near-) neutral 'hitchhikers' is a fundamental challenge in genome research, and is relevant for numerous medical and biotechnological applications. For human influenza viruses, recognizing changes in the antigenic phenotype and a strains' capability to evade pre-existing host immunity is important for the production of effici...
