ZIKV B-cell epitopes for immunodiagnostic tests
Journal of Immunological Methods, 2022 The use of serological tests is valuable to diagnose Zika virus (ZIKV) infection and carry out epidemiological surveillance. However, ZIKV serological tests may result in false positives due to cross-reactivity between antibodies against other Flavivirus, especially dengue virus that worldwide disseminated.

Predicting linear B‐cell epitopes using string kernels [PDF]
, 2008 The identification and characterization of B-cell epitopes play an important role in vaccine design, immunodiagnostic tests, and antibody production. Therefore, computational tools for reliably predicting linear B-cell epitopes are highly desirable.

An analysis of B-cell epitope discontinuity
Molecular Immunology, 2012 Although it is widely acknowledged that most B-cell epitopes are discontinuous, the degree of discontinuity is poorly understood. For example, given that an antigen having a single epitope that has been chopped into peptides of a specific length, what is the likelihood that one of the peptides will span all the residues belonging to that epitope?

Human T cell responses to peptides of the Mycobacterium leprae 45-kD serine-rich antigen. [PDF]
, 2002 In order to identify T cell epitopes within the Mycobacterium leprae 45-kD serine-rich antigen, we analysed responses to overlapping 17-mer peptides encompassing the whole antigen in non-exposed UK controls, Pakistani leprosy patients and tuberculosis ...
