  • Model for testing immunogenicity of peptides
    Patent number: 6939546
    Abstract: Assay methods for determining whether a peptide is likely to be immunogenic are based on a computer modeling of binding to a Class II MHC DR1 receptor. This is confirmed by competitive inhibition binding assays. The peptides are useful for eliciting an immune response for vaccination or the production of antibodies or T-cells.
