Unlabelled:
The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) reconstructed an AllergenPro database for allergenic proteins analysis and allergenicity prediction. The AllergenPro is an integrated web-based system providing information about allergen in foods, microorganisms, animals and plants. The allergen database has the three main features namely, (1) allergen list with epitopes, (2) searching of allergen using keyword, and (3) methods for allergenicity prediction. This updated AllergenPro outputs the search based allergen information through a user-friendly web interface, and users can run tools for allergenicity prediction using three different methods namely, (1) FAO/WHO, (2) motif-based and (3) epitope-based methods.

The database is available for free at http://nabic.rda.go.kr/allergen/

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
The Y-Shaped Structure of Antibodies Consists of Four Polypeptide Chains
Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...
