PREDICTED ANTIGENIC PEPTIDES

Function

This program predicts those segments from within a protein sequence that are likely to be antigenic by eliciting an antibody response.

Method

Antigenic peptides are determined using the method of Kolaskar and Tongaonkar (1990). Predictions are based on a table that reflects the occurrence of amino acid residues in experimentally known segmental epitopes. Segments are only reported if the have a minimum size of 8 residues. The reported accuracy of method is about 75%.
