Immunoinformatics

Immunogenicity:Predicting Immunogenicity in silico[NOTE: As these papers describe computational methods, NONE are in thestrict MiMB format, though most approximate it. This I have discussedwith John Walker, and he indicates that this is acceptable. I indicatebelow those papers which do not even have a MiMB-like format.]0. Preface[THIS IS NOT IN MiMB FORMAT]1.

"Investigators considering problems of recombinant vaccine design, possible host responses, and how to select likely sites from a large pool of information (the protein of interest) will find valuable material here." -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numerical Score:77 - 3 Stars"...a value to virtually any investigator in this general field." -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numerical Score:77 - 3 Stars "...a valuable addition to libraries in universities and research institutes, R & D firms engaged in the development of vaccines and immunotherapeutics, and clinical research centres." -Immunology news
