Epitope 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 کاملA comparison of two methods for T cell epitope mapping: “cell free” in vitro versus immunoinformatics
BACKGROUND Methods for identifying physiologically relevant T-cell epitopes are critically important for development of vaccines and the design of therapeutic proteins. As the number of proteins that are being evaluated for putative immunogenicity expands, rapid and accurate tools are in great demand. Several methods to identify T-cell epitopes have been developed, the most recent of which is a...
متن کاملRapid B Cell Linear Epitope Mapping
Conformational epitopes are thought to form the majority of strong antibody binding epitopes on most proteins. However numerous conformational epitopes may also be recognizable as linear epitopes, although with lower affinity. Linear B cell epitopes typically vary from 5 to 20 amino acids in length. If the antibody-binding region of the protein is unknown, an overlapping peptide library can be ...
متن کاملHigh Throughput T Epitope Mapping and Vaccine Development
Mapping of antigenic peptide sequences from proteins of relevant pathogens recognized by T helper (Th) and by cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) is crucial for vaccine development. In fact, mapping of T-cell epitopes provides useful information for the design of peptide-based vaccines and of peptide libraries to monitor specific cellular immunity in protected individuals, patients and vaccinees. Nev...
متن کاملB and T-Cell Epitope Prediction of the OMP25 Antigen for Developing Brucella melitensis Vaccines for Sheep
Brucellosis, produced by Brucella species, is a disease that causes severe economic losses for livestock farms worldwide Due to serious economic and medical consequences of this disease, many efforts have been made to prevent the infection through the use of recombinant vaccines based on Brucella outer membrane protein (OMP) antigens. In the present study, a wide range of on-line prediction sof...
