Welcome!

This is a beta version of our new web site, we welcome your feedback. Data and functionality may not be consistent with the production quality IEDB website.

The IEDB contains data related to antibody and T cell epitopes for humans, non-human primates, rodents, and other animal species. Curation of data relating to NIAID Category A, B, and C priority pathogens, NIAID Emerging and Re-emerging infectious diseases, Malaria, Hepatitis B, Clostridium tetani, Leishmania, Candida albicans, and herpesviruses is current through December 2007.

Curation of epitopes related to allergies and other infectious diseases is in progress. Curation of autoimmune epitopes will start in late 2008.More ...

The database also contains MHC binding data from a variety of different antigenic sources and immune epitope data from the FIMM (Brusic), HLA Ligand (Hildebrand), TopBank (Sette), and MHC binding (Buus) databases. These databases and their investigators are hereby acknowledged as major contributors to the IEDB.

For more information about our curation procedures and priorities please refer to our Curation Manual.
