The present invention relates to a method for structure-based prediction
of properties of peptides and peptide analogs in complex with major
histocompatibility (MHC) class I and class II molecules. The properties
mainly relate to the three-dimensional structure of an MHC/peptide
complex and the binding affinity of a peptide for an MHC receptor. The
invention further relates to a computer program and a device therefor.
The invention further relates to data produced by a method of the
invention. The invention further relates to peptides and peptide analogs
predicted to bind to target-MHC molecules. The present invention thus
relates to the field of immunology, with possible applications in
manufacture of vaccinates, de-immunization of proteins, and manufacture
of therapeutic agents, especially immunotherapeutic agents.
