BCIpep -- A database of B-cell epitopes
What you can do:
Search for information on B-cell epitopes from a wide range of pathogens.
Highlights:
- Bcipep is a database of experimentally determined linear B-cell epitopes of varying immunogenicity collected from literature and other publicly available databases.
- The current version of Bcipep database contains 3031 entries that include 763 immunodominant, 1797 immunogenic and 471 null-immunogenic epitopes.
- It covers a wide range of pathogenic organisms like viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi.
- The database provides a set of tools for the analysis and extraction of data that includes keyword search, peptide mapping and BLAST search.
- It also provides hyperlinks to various databases such as GenBank, PDB, SWISS-PROT and MHCBN.
