Linear B-cell epitope prediction research has received a steadily growing interest ever since the first method was developed in 1981. B-cell epitope identification with the help of an …
The ability to identify antigenic determinants of pathogens, or epitopes, is fundamental to guide rational vaccine development and immunotherapies, which are particularly relevant …

Membranous nephropathy is an autoimmune kidney disease caused by autoantibodies targeting antigens present on glomerular podocytes, instigating a cascade leading to …
The understanding of any disease calls for studying specific biological structures called epitopes. One important tool recently drawing attention and improving efficiency in both …
Vaccination is an environmentally-friendly alternative for tick control. The tick antigen Subolesin (SUB) has shown protection in vaccines for the control of multiple tick species in …
Antibody-protein interactions play a critical role in the humoral immune response. B-cells secrete antibodies, which bind antigens (eg, cell surface proteins of pathogens). The specific …
