Infectious Diseases
•More than 400 microbial agents are associated with disease
•Licensed vaccines in the United states for 22 microbial agents
•Vaccines for 36 pathogens have been developed
•Immunological Bioinformatics may be used to
•Identify immunogenic regions in pathogens
•These regions may be used as in rational vaccine design
•Which pathogens to focus on? Infectious diseases may be ranked
based on
•Impact on health
•Dangerousness
•Economic impact

Informatics in biology
• 70’ Little computing power
– Analytical solutions
• 80’ Computers, few data
– Simulations of molecular/cellular dynamics
• 90’ More data – Sequence and structure
– Searching biological databases
– Prediction of features by data driven methods
– Analysis of gene expression data

Why we do bioinformatics: Data driven vs. ab initio methods
Limitations of Ab initio predictions of peptide binding to MHC class II molecules. Zhang H, Wang P, Papangelopoulos N, Xu Y, Sette A, Bourne PE, Lund O,
Ponomarenko J, Nielsen M, Peters B. PLoS One. 2010 Feb 17;5(2):e9272.
Good performance can be obtained from few data points
Lundegaard C, Nielsen M, Lamberth K, Worning P, Sylvester-Hvid C, Buus S, Brunak S, Lund O. 2004. MHC Class I Epitope Binding Prediction Trained on
Small Data Sets. In ICARIS 2004. (eds. G. Nicosia, V. Cutello, P.J. Bentley, and J.I. Timmis), Catania, Sicily.
The Bio in Bioinformatics
•
Data driven computer science methods (NNs,
HMMs, Gibbs samplers etc.) have poor
performance on protein datasets
• To give good performance they must
• Be combined with information on amino acid
similarities (Dayhoff and followers)
• Take data set size into account
Human MHC:
~1000 variants
distributed over
12 types
Peptide:
up to 209
variants

Class II MHC binding
Human MHC II:
~1000 variants
• MHC class II binds
peptides in the class II
antigen presentation
pathway
• Binds peptides of length
9-18 (even whole
proteins can bind!)
• Binding cleft is open
• Binding core is 9 aa
Peptide:
up to 209
variants

– Select 20mer peptides conserved in all strains
the diagnose should cover
– Deselect all 20mer peptides that have more than
7 identical residues in any strain the diagnose
should not cover
– Select for epitopes etc.
• Currently being tested in leporsy patients
– Human TB, Cow paraTB underway

Conclusion. Both peptides induce IgG that reacts with native
VAR2CSA.
To do: Denature VAR2CSA and induce antibodies against linear
epitopes and test on array
