Non-redundant peptidomes from DAPs: towards "the vaccine"?

Autoimmun Rev. 2007 Apr;6(5):290-4. doi: 10.1016/j.autrev.2006.09.004. Epub 2006 Oct 12.

Abstract

Experimental analyses and literature survey reveal low-redundancy to the host proteins as a common denominator of immunogenic sequences mapped along tumor-, autoimmune-, and infectious disease-associated-proteins. The hypothesis that immunogenicity of peptide sequences is linked to proteomic redundancy is discussed.
