## Abstract Diverse procedures for identifying antigenic determinants on proteins have been developed, including experimental as well as computational approaches. However, most of these techniques focus on continuous epitopes, whereas fast and reliable identification and verification of discontinuo

## Abstract A 23 kDa peptide locating to amino acid residues 394 to 604 of the major Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) structural protein was expressed in __E. coli__. This peptide was found to interact naturally with one another to form homodimers and it was recognized strongly and commonly in its dimeric f
Non-pathogenic Gram-positive oral commensal bacteria expressing recombinant fusion proteins on their cell surface have been successfully used to raise both a mucosal and a systemic immune response to foreign antigens while colonizing the oropharynx. In this system, fusion-protein vaccines are delive
Using monoclonal antibodies, we have analysed the distribution of three recently described Qa antigenic determinants (Qa-m7, Qa-m8 and Qa-m9) on murine clonable hemopoietic progenitor cells and spleen colony-forming units (CFU-S). Cytotoxicity experiments showed that Qa-m7 was expressed on almost al
## Abstract Presently Xβray crystallography of proteinβantibody complexes is still the most direct way of identifying Bβcell epitopes. The objective of this study was to assess the potential of a computerβbased epitope mapping tool (EMT) using antigenic amino acid motifs as a fast alternative in a
