Clustering of rare peptide segments in the HCV immunome
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Our previous research and a comprehensive meta-analysis of data from the literature on epitope mapping has revealed that the B cell epitope repertoire is allocated to rare peptide motifs, i.e., antigenic peptide sequences endowed with a low level of similarity to the host proteome. From a clinical point of view, low-similarity peptides able to evoke an immune response appear to be of special interest for the...
