Article Synopsis
  • A B-cell epitope is a part of an antigen that triggers antibody responses, and accurately identifying these is crucial for vaccine development.
  • Recent methods, like using mimotopes from phage display libraries, have improved epitope prediction but still face limitations.
  • The study introduces MimoPro, a new web tool that combines dynamic programming and optimization for faster and more accurate epitope predictions compared to existing tools like Pep-3D-Search and PepSurf.

In this paper we report an investigation of the neuroprotective effect of hypoxic preconditioning on transient focal ischemia-reperfusion injuries in rat brain. Female Wistar rats were subjected to 380 mmHg in an altitude chamber for 15 hours/day.
