Figure 2From: AntiJen: a quantitative immunology database integrating functional, thermodynamic, kinetic, biophysical, and cellular dataOverview of the different search methods within AntiJen. The example search is focused upon an MHC ligand. The MHC ligand data can be searched directly (A) from a link on the AntiJen homepage, a broad search and specific search is available. A search for the epitope AMALLRLPLV, has one hit (D), this leads to the entry (G). All of the other sub-databases can be searched in this manner from the homepage. The two other searches are more generalised. A Keyword search (B) carries out a broad search on the whole database, for the criteria – Bacteria. This search gives 139 hits (E) and all of the sub-database entries can be selected from this output. The final search method is a BLAST search (C). The peptide (or nucleotide) sequence is queried against a local protein database. The output (F) provides links to the sub-databases relative to the protein.Back to article page
