2009
Bioinformatics
Computational approaches, in particular the prediction of T-cell epitopes using machine learning methods, are at the core of modern vaccine design. ...

Rational design of low immunogenic anti CD25 recombinant immunotoxin for T cell malignancies by elimination of T cell epitopes in PE38
2017

Positional information in root epidermis is defined during embryogenesis and acts in domains with strict boundaries
1998
Current Biology
Fate is not fixed in the developing root, though, as cells that move into a position previously occupied by neighbour cells ablated using laser microsurgery change fate. ...
The epidermal layer of the Arabidopsis root is made of alternating files of two cell types and thus presents a simple pattern to study positional mechanisms. ...
Cell corners are, for example, richer in epitopes for antibodies JIM which recognise arabinogalactan protein epitopes (L.D., unpublished observations). ...
