Linear B-cell epitopes (BCEs) play a key role in the development of peptide vaccines and immunodiagnostic reagents. Therefore, the accurate identification of linear BCEs is of great importance in the prevention of infectious diseases and the diagnosis of related diseases. The experimental methods used to identify BCEs are both expensive and time-consuming and they do not meet the demand for identification of large-scale protein sequence data.

C1-C3 showed greater cytotoxicity than their ligands toward SK-OV-3 and T24 cells. Particularly, C2 showed high cytotoxicity toward T24 cells and low cytotoxicity toward normal human HL-7702 and WI-38 cells.
