More than 3000 antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been discovered, seven of which have
been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Now commercialized, these …

Identification of B‐cell epitopes is a fundamental step for development of epitope‐based
vaccines, therapeutic antibodies, and diagnostic tools. Epitope‐based antibodies are …

Motivation: Allergenicity, like antigenicity and immunogenicity, is a property encoded linearly
and non-linearly, and therefore the alignment-based approaches are not able to identify this …

Genetic modification is a special set of gene technology that alters the genetic machinery of
such living organisms as animals, plants or microorganisms. Combining genes from different …

Background Allergy is a form of hypersensitivity to normally innocuous substances, such as
dust, pollen, foods or drugs. Allergens are small antigens that commonly provoke an IgE …

B‐cell epitopes play a vital role in the development of peptide vaccines, in diagnosis of
diseases, and also for allergy research. Experimental methods used for characterizing …

In this study a systematic attempt has been made to integrate various approaches in order to
predict allergenic proteins with high accuracy. The dataset used for testing and training …

Motivation Due to the risk of inducing an immediate Type I (IgE-mediated) allergic response,
proteins intended for use in consumer products must be investigated for their allergenic …

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), eg, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC),
are chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. A comprehensive overview of an IBD …

A large number of allergenic proteins have now their complete cDNA sequences determined
and in some cases also the 3D structures. It turned out that most allergens could be grouped …
