The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a widely used animal model for study of autoimmune diseases, in particular human type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Identification of the subset of peptides that bind MHC molecules comprising the H-2g7 haplotype of NOD mouse and thereby representing potential NOD T-cell epitopes is important for research into the pathogenesis and immunotherapy of T1DM. The H-2g7 haplotype comprises the MHC class-I molecules Kd and Db and a single class-II molecule I-Ag7. We have developed a prediction system, PREDNOD, for accurate identification of peptides that bind the MHC molecules constituting the H-2g7 haplotype. PREDNOD is accessible at http://antigen.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/Ag7.
非肥胖型糖尿病(NOD)小鼠是一种广泛用于研究自身免疫性疾病,尤其是人类1型糖尿病(T1DM)的动物模型。鉴定与构成NOD小鼠H-2g7单倍型的MHC分子结合的肽段子集,从而确定潜在的NOD T细胞表位,对于T1DM发病机制和免疫治疗的研究具有重要意义。H-2g7单倍型由MHC I类分子Kd和Db以及单个II类分子I-Ag7组成。我们开发了一种预测系统PREDNOD,用于准确鉴定与构成H-2g7单倍型的MHC分子结合的肽段。可通过http://antigen.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/Ag7访问PREDNOD。
