Epitope Prediction Assays Combined with Validation Assays Strongly Narrows down Putative Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Epitopes
Tumor vaccine design requires prediction and validation of immunogenic MHC class I epitopes expressed by target cells as well as MHC class II epitopes expressed by antigen-presenting cells essential for the induction of optimal immune responses. Epitope prediction methods are based on different algorithms and are instrumental for a first screening of possible epitopes. However, their results do...
متن کاملPrediction of HLA class I-restricted T-cell epitopes of islet autoantigen combined with binding and dissociation assays.
Identification of cognate peptides recognized by human leucocyte antigen (HLA)/T cell receptor (TCR) complex provides insight into the pathogenic process of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We hypothesize that HLA-binding assays alone are inadequate metrics for the affinity of peptides. Zinc transporter-8 (ZnT8) has emerged in recent years as a novel, major, human autoantigen. Therefore, we aim to identi...
متن کاملDiagnostic assays for leprosy based on T-cell epitopes.
To date, only a limited number of antigens have been described as specific for Mycobacterium leprae, and in many cases, homologues have subsequently been shown to exist in mycobacteria such as M. avium and M. intracellulare. A Leprosy Synthetic Peptide Skin Test Initiative was established by the Steering Committee on the Immunology of Mycobacteria of the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme fo...
متن کاملIdentification of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Epitopes on Swine Viruses: Multi-Epitope Design for Universal T Cell Vaccine
Classical swine fever (CSF), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) are the primary diseases affecting the pig industry globally. Vaccine induced CD8(+) T cell-mediated immune response might be long-lived and cross-serotype and thus deserve further attention. Although large panels of synthetic overlapping peptides spanning the entire length of the ...
متن کاملCytotoxic T Lymphocyte Epitopes of HIV-1 Nef
Although a pivotal role of proteasomes in the proteolytic generation of epitopes for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I presentation is undisputed, their precise function is currently the subject of an active debate: do proteasomes generate many epitopes in definitive form, or do they merely generate the COOH termini, whereas the definitive NH(2) termini are cleaved by aminopeptidas...
