In recent years, the in silico epitopes prediction tools have facilitated the progress of vaccines development significantly and many have been applied to predict epitopes in viruses successfully. Herein, a general overview of different tools currently available, including T cell and B cell epitopes prediction tools, is presented. And the principles of different prediction algorithms are reviewed briefly. Finally, several examples are present to illustrate the application of the prediction tools.
近年来,基于计算的表位预测工具极大地推动了疫苗开发的进展,并且许多工具已经成功地应用于预测病毒中的表位。本文对目前可用的不同工具进行了概述,包括 T 细胞和 B 细胞表位预测工具,并简要回顾了不同预测算法的原理。最后,通过几个示例说明了预测工具的应用。
