Abstract: The present invention provides a method for classifying immunological entities. The inventors assume that there are commonalities among antigen specificities for which, without a function being specified in advance, bound immunological entities (antigens, epitopes, etc.) are normally handled individually as separate “functions (for example, whether antigen A has the specificity),” and the inventors have discovered that it is possible to classify immunological entities by evaluating the similarities thereof. This method has a high degree of precision with respect to immunity-related illnesses, and the present invention is clinically applicable.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for classifying antibodies. Specifically, the present invention provides, for a first immunological entity and a second immunological entity, a method for classifying whether a binding epitope is the same or different, and a method for performing clustering based on the classification, the methods including: identifying an array of immunological entities such as antibodies as several portions (for example, a framework region and three CDRs); in order to define a storage region, using the array as a three-dimensional structure model; introducing an index of similarity such as structure and/or array characteristic amounts into an evaluation function for evaluating the similarity or dissimilarity of two immunological entities; and analogizing the similarity of an epitope on the basis of the similarity of an antibody.
