Abstract excerpt
The precise prediction of class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) peptide binding finds application in epitope design for the development of vaccines and diagnostics of diseases associated with CD4+ T-cellular immunity. HLA II binding peptides have an extended conformation at the binding groove unlike class I. This increases peptide binding combinations of varying length at the groove, having an eventual effect in...
