DPB1 T-Cell Epitope Algorithm v1.0 (2012-04)
Classification of HLA-DPB1 mismatches based on T-cell-epitope groups has been shown to identify permissive mismatches and non-permissive mismatches for HLA-DPB1 after unrelated-donor haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Classification of HLA-DPB1 mismatches based on T-cell-epitope groups may identify mismatches that might be tolerated (permissive) and those that would increase risks (non-permissive) after transplantation. This calculator allows you to enter the HLA-DPB1 typing of a patient and donor and view the predicted T-Cell epitopes and resulting prediction of the effect of mismatching when selecting appropriate donors for HSCT recipients.
The implementation of the DPB1 T-Cell Epitope algorithm has been written in collaboration with Katharina Fleischhauer, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Italy and Bronwen Shaw, Anthony Nolan Research Institute, UK.
