Building a Meta-predictor for MHC Class II Binding Peptides
... In this chapter, the steps for building such a system based on the Naïve Bayesian (14) approach are presented. The Bayesian framework has the flexibility to incorporate any predictor that makes prediction from a computed score correlated with the binding affinity of MHC class II peptides. Here, in ...

B lymphocytes as emerging mediators of insulin
... Antibodies have direct pathogenic roles in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus and myasthenia gravis, but until recently there had been little or no evidence that autoantibodies contribute to the development of insulin resistance. Our recent findings challenge this notion, as transfer of serum ...
