EpiToolKit - A web server for computational immunomics
Nucl. Acids Res. 36:W519-22.
Predicting the T-cell-mediated immune response is
an important task in vaccine design and thus one of
the key problems in computational immunomics.
Various methods have been developed during the
last decade and are available online. We present
EpiToolKit, a web server that has been specifically
designed to offer a problem-solving environment for
computational immunomics. EpiToolKit offers a
variety of different prediction methods for major
histocompatibility complex class I and II ligands as
well as minor histocompatibility antigens. These
predictions are embedded in a user-friendly interface
allowing refining, editing and constraining the
searches conveniently. We illustrate the value of the
approach with a set of novel tumor-associated
peptides. EpiToolKit is available online at www.
epitoolkit.org.
