Active Learning Framework for Cost-Effective TCR-Epitope Binding Affinity Prediction [PDF]
T cell receptors (TCRs) are critical components of adaptive immune systems, responsible for responding to threats by recognizing epitope sequences presented on host cell surface. Computational prediction of binding affinity between TCRs and epitope sequences using machine/deep learning has attracted intense attention recently.

Stability-mediated epistasis constrains the evolution of an influenza protein. [PDF]
John Maynard Smith compared protein evolution to the game where one word is converted into another a single letter at a time, with the constraint that all intermediates are words: WORD→WORE→GORE→GONE→GENE. In this analogy, epistasis constrains evolution,

A Novel Algorithm for Macromolecular Epitope Matching
Many macromolecules, namely proteins, show functional substructures or epitopes defined by characteristic spatial arrangements of groups of specific atoms or residues.

Uncertainty Estimation in SARS-CoV-2 B-cell Epitope Prediction for Vaccine Development [PDF]
B-cell epitopes play a key role in stimulating B-cells, triggering the primary immune response which results in antibody production as well as the establishment of long-term immunity in the form of memory cells. Consequently, being able to accurately predict appropriate linear B-cell epitope regions would pave the way for the development of new protein-

Mimotope mapping as a complementary strategy to define allergen IgE-epitopes: peach Pru p 3 allergen as a model. [PDF]
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are the major allergens of Rosaceae fruits in the Mediterranean area. Pru p 3, the LTP and major allergen of peach, is a suitable model for studying food allergy and amino acid sequences related with its IgE-binding ...

Defining the epichromatin epitope [PDF]
Epichromatin is identified by immunostaining fixed and permeabilized cells with particular bivalent anti-nucleosome antibodies (mAbs PL2-6 and 1H6). During interphase, epichromatin resides adjacent to the inner nuclear membrane; during mitosis, at the outer surface of mitotic chromosomes.
