Abstract

Laboratory experimentation in immunology, particularly that related to antigen recognition and determination of specific targets of immune response, has become a combinatorial challenge. Understanding the mechanisms of immune recognition and specificity and selection of immune response targets is necessary before this information can be applied systematically to the design of vaccines and immunotherapeutics. We anticipate that dynamic models of immune interactions that can absorb the ever-increasing amount of data generated in the field and self-improve with the accumulation of data and knowledge will become standard methodology in immunology research. Standardization and exploitation of the synergies of modelling and experimental methods provide an efficient means for largescale epitope screening. This study provides a first-level guideline for cyclical refinement of computer models and their integration with laboratory experiments.
