Increasing the odds: antibody-mediated delivery of two distinct immunogenic T-cell epitopes with one antibody [PDF]
Antibody-epitope conjugates (AECs) proved to be a promising new therapeutic strategy to redirect virus-specific CD8+ T cells toward cancer cells by delivering T-cell epitopes.

Proteome-wide curation of experimentally validated HPV T-cell epitopes identifies key gaps in our understanding of cellular immunity to HPV and informs vaccine design [PDF]
BackgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) drives both malignant and benign tumours. Current prophylactic vaccines are type-restricted, not optimised for T-cell induction, and lack therapeutic efficacy.

A Systematic Review of T Cell Epitopes Defined from the Proteome of Hepatitis B Virus
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a worldwide health problem and no eradicative therapy is currently available. Host T cell immune responses have crucial influences on the outcome of HBV infection, however the development of therapeutic vaccines,

BepiTBR: T-B reciprocity enhances B cell epitope prediction
Summary: The ability to predict B cell epitopes is critical for biomedical research and many clinical applications. Investigators have observed the phenomenon of T-B reciprocity, in which candidate B cell epitopes with nearby CD4+ TÂ cell epitopes have ...
