FRED 2: an immunoinformatics framework for Python [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2016
Abstract Summary: Immunoinformatics approaches are widely used in a variety of applications from basic immunological to applied biomedical research. Complex data integration is inevitable in immunological research and usually requires comprehensive pipelines including multiple tools and data sources. Non-standard input and output formats

Immunoinformatics: Predicting Peptide–MHC Binding [PDF]

Annual Review of Biomedical Data Science, 2020
Immunoinformatics is a discipline that applies methods of computer science to study and model the immune system. A fundamental question addressed by immunoinformatics is how to understand the rules of antigen presentation by MHC molecules to T cells, a process that is central to adaptive immune responses to infections and cancer.

Immune checkpoint therapy modeling of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades reveals subtle difference in their response dynamics and potential synergy in combination

ImmunoInformatics, 2021
Immune checkpoint therapy is one of the most promising immunotherapeutic methods that are likely able to give rise to durable treatment response for various cancer types.

AntigenDB: an immunoinformatics database of pathogen antigens [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2009
The continuing threat of infectious disease and future pandemics, coupled to the continuous increase of drug-resistant pathogens, makes the discovery of new and better vaccines imperative. For effective vaccine development, antigen discovery and validation is a prerequisite.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (BA.1 and BA.2) specific novel CD8+ and CD4+ T cell epitopes targeting spike protein

ImmunoInformatics, 2022
The Omicron (BA.1/B.1.1.529) variant of SARS-CoV-2 harbors an alarming 37 mutations on its spike protein, reducing the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines. In this study, we identified CD8+ and CD4+ T cell epitopes from SARS-CoV-2 S protein mutants. To

Manganese mediates antiviral effects by driving an ATM -TBK1 phosphorylation signaling pathway

Frontiers in Immunology
Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is traditionally recognized as a nuclear kinase involved in DNA damage repair. We were the first to report that ATM also participates in a manganese (Mn)-dependent TBK1 phosphorylation pathway.

Immunoinformatics and tick vaccinology

Exploration of Immunology, 2023
Immunoinformatics is an emerging area focused on development and applications of methods used to facilitate vaccine development. There is a growing interest in the field of vaccinology centered on the new omic science named ‘vaccinomics’. However, this approach has not succeeded to provide a solution against major infections affecting both animals and ...

Interleukin-27-polarized HIV-resistant M2 macrophages are a novel subtype of macrophages that express distinct antiviral gene profiles in individual cells: implication for the antiviral effect via different mechanisms in the individual cell-dependent manner

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionInterleukin (IL)-27 is an anti-viral cytokine. IL-27-treated monocyte-derived macrophages (27-Mac) suppressed HIV replication. Macrophages are generally divided into two subtypes, M1 and M2 macrophages.

Targeting Amastigote and Trypomastigote Phases: Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Strategy Against Trypanosoma cruzi

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective vaccines against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are urgently needed. Here, we report the design and in silico validation of a novel multiepitope vaccine construct targeting the key surface proteins ASP‐2 and gp82. Using a comprehensive immunoinformatics pipeline, we identified and selected 38 potent T‐cell (
