Mutation Profile of HPV16 L1 and L2 Genes in Different Geographic Areas
The causal relationship between HPV and cervical cancer in association with the high prevalence of high risk HPV genotypes led to the design of HPV vaccines based on the major capsid L1 protein.

Critical review of conformational B-cell epitope prediction methods [PDF]
Accurate in-silico prediction of conformational B-cell epitopes would lead to major improvements in disease diagnostics, drug design and vaccine development. A variety of computational methods, mainly based on machine learning approaches, have been developed in the last decades to tackle this challenging problem.

IgE-binding epitopes: a reappraisal [PDF]
Here, we discuss various questions related to IgE epitopes: What are the technical possibilities and pitfalls, what is currently known, how can we put this information into hypothetical frameworks and the unavoidable question: how useful is this information for patient care or allergenicity prediction?

Designing a Multi-Epitope Vaccine against Toxoplasma gondii: An Immunoinformatics Approach
Infection with the intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii causes serious clinical outcomes in both human and veterinary settings worldwide. Although approximately one-third of the world’s population is infected with T. gondii, an effective

CD4+ T-cell responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent-cycle antigens and the recognition of EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines [PDF]
There is considerable interest in the potential of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent antigen-specific CD4\(^+\) T cells to act as direct effectors controlling EBV-induced B lymphoproliferations.

Quantitative Prediction of Linear B-Cell Epitopes [PDF]
In scientific literature, there are many programs that predict linear B-cell epitopes from a protein sequence. Each program generates multiple B-cell epitopes that can be individually studied. This paper defines a function called

Finding Epitopes with Computers
The goal of structural vaccinology is to enable the design and engineering of improved antigens. In a recent issue of Chemistry & Biology, Gourlay and colleagues provided evidence that structure-based computational methods allow prediction of B cell epitopes, a crucial step for antigen selection and optimization in vaccine development.

Epitope Identification in BEFV Gene for Detecting Effective Points [PDF]
Background & Objective: The most common cause of milk production loss in cattle and water buffalo is bovine ephemeral fever (BEF). Previous cases have been reported in Iran's south regions, with a low mortality rate.
