Characterization and epitope mapping of human monoclonal antibodies to PDC-E2, the immunodominant autoantigen of primary biliary cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1992
Further to define the epitopes of PDC-E2, the major autoantigen in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we have developed and characterized five human monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies were derived by fusing a regional hepatic lymph node from a patient

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.

Design of a Recombinant Multivalent Epitope Vaccine Based on SARS-CoV-2 and Its Variants in Immunoinformatics Approaches

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
The development of an effective multivalent vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 variants is an important means to improve the global public health situation caused by COVID-19. In this study, we identified the antigen epitopes of the main global epidemic SARS-CoV-

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

Snowflake: A deep learning-based human leukocyte antigen matching algorithm considering allele-specific surface accessibility

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Histocompatibility in solid-organ transplantation has a strong impact on long-term graft survival. Although recent advances in matching of both B-cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes have improved understanding of allorecognition, the immunogenic ...

Structure and pathogenicity of antibodies specific for citrullinated collagen type II in experimental arthritis [PDF]

, 2009
Antibodies to citrulline-modifi ed proteins have a high diagnostic value in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their biological role in disease development is still unclear.

Epitope spreading

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1996
Epitope (determinant) spreading is the development of immune responses to endogenous epitopes secondary to the release of self antigens during a chronic autoimmune or inflammatory response. The past year has seen considerable advances in our understanding of the contribution of epitope spreading to the chronic pathogenesis of experimental T-cell ...
