A database for allergenic proteins and tools for allergenicity prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED The AllergenPro database has developed a web-based system that will provide information about allergen in microbes, animals and plants. The database has three major parts and functions:(i) database list; (ii) allergen search; and (iii) allergenicity prediction. The database contains 2,434 allergens related information readily available in the database such as on allergens in rice microbes (712 records), animals (617 records) and plants (1,105 records). Furthermore, this database provides bioinformatics tools for allergenicity prediction. Users can search for specific allergens by various methods and can run tools for allergenicity prediction using three different methods. AVAILABILITY The database is available for free at http://www.niab.go.kr/nabic/

AllergenPro: an integrated database for allergenicity analysis and prediction
UNLABELLED The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) reconstructed an AllergenPro database for allergenic proteins analysis and allergenicity prediction. The AllergenPro is an integrated web-based system providing information about allergen in foods, microorganisms, animals and plants. The allergen database has the three main features namely, (1) allergen list with epit...
متن کاملMethods and protocols for the assessment of protein allergenicity and cross-reactivity.
Allergy is a prevalent health problem in developed countries. With advances in genomic and proteomic technologies, there is a rapid increase in allergy-related data, including allergen sequences, allergic cross-reactivity, molecular structures, clinical measurements, and atmospheric concentrations. The more and more complex allergy data is fueling the need for advanced ways in information manag...
متن کاملPrediction of the potential allergenicity of novel proteins
The potential allergenicity of novel proteins expressed in genetically modified organisms is an important item in the safety assessment of these organisms. The various components of the allergenicity assessment include the source of the protein, sequence similarity with known allergenic proteins, in vitro digestibility, sera binding tests, animal models and clinical tests. Recent developments i...
متن کاملPredicting allergenic proteins using wavelet transform
MOTIVATION With many transgenic proteins introduced today, the ability to predict their potential allergenicity has become an important issue. Previous studies were based on either sequence similarity or the protein motifs identified from known allergen databases. The similarity-based approaches, although being able to produce high recalls, usually have low prediction precisions. Previous motif...
متن کاملIn silico identification of epitopes from house cat and dog proteins as peptide immunotherapy candidates based on human leukocyte antigen binding affinity
The objective of this descriptive study was to determine Felis domesticus (cat) and Canis familiaris (dog) protein epitopes that bind strongly to selected HLA class II alleles to identify synthetic vaccine candidate epitopes and to identify individuals/populations who are likely to respond to vaccines. FASTA amino acid sequences of experimentally validated allergenic proteins of house cat and d...
