NaPi-IIb is a multiple passage protein membrane which is primarily responsible for phosphate uptake in the kidney and in the small intestine. Beyond its physiological functions, their involvement with carcinogenesis w...
The novel strain H1N1 caused the outbreak of first pandemic influenza in 21 century. Now it is a common component of current seasonal influenza viruses. The recent transmission and plentiful genome sequences available...
The in silico prediction of peptide binding affinities to MHC proteins is a very important first step in the process of epi-tope-based vaccine design and development. Five MHC class II binding prediction servers were ...
CD146 (MUC18, Mel-CAM/MCAM) is a transmembrane protein, originally identified as a biomarker of melanoma, and plays an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis.
The major envelope glycoprotein E of dengue (DEN) virus plays a central role in the biology of flaviviruses. It is capable of inducing a protective immune response in vivo and responsible for the viral binding to the ...

HLA-A2.1-associated peptides, extracted from human melanoma cells, were used to study epitopes for melanoma-specific HLA-A2.1-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) by epitope reconstitution, active peptide seque...
To augment specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL)lysis is a promising strategy for cancer therapy,in this study, we examined the boosting effect of CTLs upon autologous lymphoblastoid B cell lines(LCLs)transfected with ...
A double antibodies additivity ELISA test was employed to identify the epltopes which can be recognized by monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against IgM from B chronic lymphocyte leukemia (B-CLL). The computer grouping pr...
