EBIProteins Get Epitopes
Get experimentally-determined immune epitope regions for a protein using the EBI Proteins API. Returns epitope positions, sequences, and supporting literature from the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB). Epitopes are regions of proteins recognized by antibodies or T-cells. Critical for vaccine design, therapeutic antibody development, immunogenicity assessment, and understanding immune responses. Example: get epitopes for P04637 (TP53) returns 62 experimentally-mapped epitope regions; P00533 (EGFR)…
Overview
Get experimentally-determined immune epitope regions for a protein using the EBI Proteins API. Returns epitope positions, sequences, and supporting literature from the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB). Epitopes are regions of proteins recognized by antibodies or T-cells. Critical for vaccine design, therapeutic antibody development, immunogenicity assessment, and understanding immune responses. Example: get epitopes for P04637 (TP53) returns 62 experimentally-mapped epitope regions; P00533 (EGFR) returns epitopes relevant to cancer immunotherapy.
