Searchable database types within AntiJen. The database contains 3 types of searchable sub database: a set of Antigens searchable by keyword, various databases of functional and thermodynamic data searchable by peptide sequence, and a database of immunological protein-protein interactions searchable through an index. Peptide sequence searches can be explicit or "motif" based. Searches can also be focussed by setting the value ranges for properties, such as IC50 etc, recorded in the databases. Currently there is a link between all the thermodynamic and kinetic databases and between them and the database of antigens. Only antigens with data in one of the other sub-databases are included in the antigen database. Links to external databases are also indicated. The BLAST search provides an overall search of the databases except the Protein-Protein Interactions archive.
