Title:
PROTEIN DESIGN AUTOMATION FOR DESIGNING PROTEIN LIBRARIES WITH ALTERED IMMUNOGENICITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003006154
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a variety of computational methods for modulating the immunogenicity of proteins by identifying and then altering potential amino acid sequences that elicit an immune response in a host organism. In particular, proteins will be screened for MHC binding sequences, T cell epitopes and B cell epitopes.
