Table 1 Contents of CED database entries
Entry Field | Description |
|---|---|
Conformational epitope ID | Unique identification of the epitope used in CED database. |
Constitution and location | Residues that constitute the epitope and their locations. |
Epitope immunoproperty | Immunological property of the epitope. For example, any epitope will be considered as neutralizing if the activity of its source antigen is blocked when binding to its corresponding antibody. |
Corresponding antibody | Antibody that recognizes and binds this conformational epitope. |
Experimental method | Experiment techniques used to identify this epitope, e.g. NMR. |
Source antigen | The name of the antigen on which the conformational epitope exists. |
Sequence of source antigen | Sequence ID of the source antigen in primary sequence databases such as SwissProt and GenBank; hyperlinked. |
Structure of source antigen | PDB ID of the source antigen; hyperlinked |
Structure of Ag-Ab complex | PDB ID of the source antigen-antibody complex; hyperlinked. |
Chemoproperty of source antigen | Chemical property of source antigen. If the source antigen is an enzyme, it is hyperlinked to KEGG enzyme. |
Publication reference | PubMed ID of article that report this epitope; hyperlinked. |
Comments | Miscellaneous information of the epitope. It is often about the location difference between the reference and the sequence database. |
