BVBRC Search Epitopes

Search for pathogen epitopes (B-cell and T-cell) in BV-BRC. Returns epitope sequences, types, protein associations, and assay results for vaccine and immunology research. Covers epitopes from IEDB for bacteria and viruses including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, tuberculosis, and other pathogens. Example: search taxon_id 2697049 for SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein epitopes.
