Abstract:
The linear epitopes of tropomyosin in
M.nipponense were predicted,which provided the basis for the identification and detection of related food allergies and the targets for the reduction of allergenicity based on the epitope. In this study,the B-cell linearepitopes of tropomyosin in
M. nipponense were predicted by DNAStar and online network servers including SOPMA,BepiPred 1.0 Server and ABCpred. The T-cell epitopes were predicted by SYFPEITHI,NetMHCII 2.3 Server and NetMHCIIpan 3.2 Server. Based on the above comprehensive analysis,the probable B-cell linear epitopes might contain
