BioDrugs, 2007 Antibodies are an effective line of defense in preventing infectious diseases. Highly potent neutralizing antibodies can intercept a virus before it attaches to its target cell and, thus, inactivate it. This ability is based on the antibodies' specific recognition of epitopes, the sites of the antigen to which antibodies bind.

Structural Influence on the Dominance of Virus-Specific CD4 T Cell Epitopes in Zika Virus Infection
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Zika virus (ZIKV) has recently caused explosive outbreaks in Pacific islands, South- and Central America. Like with other flaviviruses, protective immunity is strongly dependent on potently neutralizing antibodies (Abs) directed against the viral ...

Thermal and Acidic Treatments of Gluten Epitopes Affect Their Recognition by HLA-DQ2 in silico
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021 Celiac disease (CD) is a prevalent disorder with autoimmune features. Dietary exposure of wheat gluten (including gliadins and glutenins) to the small intestine activates the gluten-reactive CD4+ T cells and controls the disease development.

CD4+ T cells targeting dominant and cryptic epitopes from Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Anthrax is an endemic infection in many countries, particularly in the developing world. The causative agent, Bacillus anthracis, mediates disease through the secretion of binary exotoxins.

Identification of a protein encoded in the EB-viral open reading frame BMRF2 [PDF]
, 1992 Using monospecific rabbit sera against a peptide derived from a potential antigenic region of the Epstein-Barr viral amino acid sequence encoded in the open reading frame BMRF2 we could identify a protein-complex of 53/55 kDa in chemically induced B95-8,

Neutralizing Antibody Response to Hepatitis C Virus
Viruses, 2011 A critical first step in a “rational vaccine design” approach for hepatitis C virus (HCV) is to identify the most relevant mechanisms of immune protection. Emerging evidence provides support for a protective role of virus neutralizing antibodies, and the
