Epitope mapping using mRNA display and a unidirectional nested deletion library [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In vitro selection targeting an anti-polyhistidine monoclonal antibody was performed using mRNA display with a random, unconstrained 27-mer peptide library.

Novel MHC-Independent αβTCRs Specific for CD48, CD102, and CD155 Self-Proteins and Their Selection in the Thymus

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
MHC-independent αβTCRs (TCRs) recognize conformational epitopes on native self-proteins and arise in mice lacking both MHC and CD4/CD8 coreceptor proteins. Although naturally generated in the thymus, these TCRs resemble re-engineered therapeutic chimeric

A Population Dynamics Model for Clonal Diversity in a Germinal Center

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Germinal centers (GCs) are micro-domains where B cells mature to develop high affinity antibodies. Inside a GC, B cells compete for antigen and T cell help, and the successful ones continue to evolve.

Improved Clonal Selection Algorithm Based on Biological Forgetting Mechanism

open access: yesComplexity, 2020
The antibody candidate set generated by the clonal selection algorithm has only a small number of antibodies with high antigen affinity to obtain high-frequency mutations.

Semantic media decision taking using N3Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, we introduce a media decision taking engine (MDTE), enabling the automatic selection and/or rating of multimedia content versions, based on the available context information.

Amount of antigen, T follicular helper cells and affinity of founder cells shape the diversity of germinal center B cells: A computational study

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
A variety of B cell clones seed the germinal centers, where a selection stringency expands the fitter clones to generate higher affinity antibodies. However, recent experiments suggest that germinal centers often retain a diverse set of B cell clones ...

Did Germinal Centers evolve under differential effects of diversity vs affinity? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The classical view on the process of mutation and affinity maturation that occurs in GCs assumes that their major role is to generate high affinity levels of serum Abs, as well as a dominant pool of high affinity memory B cells, through a very ...

Improving Pharmacokinetics of Peptides Using Phage Display

open access: yesViruses
Phage display is a versatile method often used in the discovery of peptides that targets disease-related biomarkers. A major advantage of this technology is the ease and cost efficiency of affinity selection, also known as biopanning, to identify novel ...

A mechanism of T cell dependent selection of antigen engaged Germinal Center B cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
A model of B cell affinity selection is proposed, and an explanation of peripheral tolerance mechanisms through antibody repertoire editing is presented.

A stepwise and digital pattern of RSK phosphorylation determines the outcome of thymic selection

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Developing CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes with randomly generated T cell receptors (TCRs) undergo positive (maturation) or negative (apoptosis) selection on the basis of the strength of TCR stimulation.
