Identifying epitopes, or the segments of a protein that bind to antibodies, is critical for the development of a variety of immunotherapeutics and diagnostics. In vaccine design, the intent is to identify the minimal epitope of an antigen that can el...
Mycoplasma pulmonis (M. pulmonis) is an emerging respiratory infection commonly linked to prostate cancer, and it is classified under the group of mycoplasmas. Improved management of mycoplasma infections is essential due to the frequent ineffectiven...

The world has witnessed a revolution in therapeutics with the development of biological medicines such as antibodies and antibody fragments, notably nanobodies. These nanobodies possess unique characteristics including high specificity and modulatory...
Accurate prediction of neoantigens and the subsequent elicited protective anti-tumor response are particularly important for the development of cancer vaccine and adoptive T-cell therapy. However, current algorithms for predicting neoantigens are lim...
This study was aimed to introduce a novel algorithm for determining linear B- and T-cell epitopes from Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) antigens. To this end, 387 approved B- and T-cell epitopes, as well as 331 non-epitope peptides from...
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) targeting the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) have promising utility in prevention and treatment of HIV-1 infection, and several are currently undergoing clinical trials. Due to the high sequence diversity an...

In this work, we improved a previous model used for the prediction of proteomes as new B-cell epitopes in vaccine design. The predicted epitope activity of a queried peptide is based on its sequence, a known reference epitope sequence under specific ...
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...

Reverse vaccinology (RV) is a bioinformatics approach that can predict antigens with protective potential from the protein coding genomes of bacterial pathogens for subunit vaccine design. RV has become firmly established following the development of...
MOTIVATION: Predicting the structure of antibody-antigen complexes is a challenging task with significant implications for the design of better antibody therapeutics. However, the levels of success have remained dauntingly low, particularly when high...
