Immune Epitope Database User Workshop
November 7-8, 2019

    The Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Program (IEDB) is a freely available resource funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to advance immunology research.

    The database allows easy searching of all published experimental data characterizing antibody and T cell epitopes studied in humans, non-human primates, and other animal species. Epitopes involved in infectious disease, allergy, autoimmunity, and transplant are included. The data were derived from more than 19,000 publications. The Analysis Resource also hosts tools that assist in the prediction and analysis of B cell and T cell epitopes.

    In recent years, the IEDB has updated its search interface and added highly sought after data, such and antibody and TCR sequence information. During this workshop, we will detail how the IEDB can be used to facilitate immunological research.

Who should attend?

  • Researchers studying T cell and antibody epitopes
  • Bioinformaticians
  • Those new to the IEDB
  • Those wanting to better understand and use the many features of the resource
