CD4+ T-cell epitope prediction by combined analysis of antigen conformational flexibility and peptide-MHCII binding affinity
2020-05-22
Abstract excerpt
Antigen processing in the class II MHC pathway depends on conventional proteolytic enzymes, potentially acting on antigens in native-like conformational states. CD4+ epitope dominance arises from a competition between antigen folding, proteolysis, and MHCII binding. Protease-sensitive sites, linear antibody epitopes, and CD4+ T-cell epitopes were mapped in the plague vaccine candidate F1-V to evaluate the various...
