Current sequencing methods allow for detailed samples of T cell receptors (TCR) repertoires. To determine from a repertoire whether its host had been exposed to a target, computational tools that predict TCR-epitope binding are required. Currents too...
c-Met is a promising target in cancer therapy for its intrinsic oncogenic properties. However, there are currently no c-Met-specific inhibitors available in the clinic. Antibodies blocking the interaction with its only known ligand, hepatocyte growth...
Although structural studies of individual T cell receptors (TCRs) have revealed important roles for both the α and β chain in directing MHC and antigen recognition, repertoire-level immunogenomic analyses have historically examined the β chain alone....
The architecture of mouse and human antibody repertoires is defined by the sequence similarity networks of the clones that compose them. The major principles that define the architecture of antibody repertoires have remained largely unknown. Here, we...
3-Nitrotyrosine (3-NT) is thought to be a relevant biomarker of nitrosative stress which is associated with many inflammatory and chronic diseases. It is necessary to develop confidential method for specific and sensitive 3-NT detection. In this pape...
Norfloxacin (NOR) in milk may influence mammalian cell replication and bring about a decrease in the efficiency for treating infection in humans. However, current techniques for detecting NOR usually require expensive instruments and trained personne...
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become a major class of protein therapeutics that target a spectrum of diseases ranging from cancers to infectious diseases. Similar to any protein molecule, mAbs are susceptible to chemical modifications during the ...
BACKGROUND: The broad heterogeneity of antigen-antibody interactions brings tremendous challenges to the design of a widely applicable learning algorithm to identify conformational B-cell epitopes. Besides the intrinsic heterogeneity introduced by di...
In vertebrates, antibody-mediated immunity is a vital component of the immune system, and antibodies have become a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic agents. Nanobodies, a distinct type of antibody, have recently emerged as a stable and cost-effe...

In the past, several methods have been developed for predicting conformational B-cell epitopes in antigens that are not specific to any host. Our primary analysis of antibody-antigen complexes indicated a need to develop host-specific B-cell epitopes...
