Common Queries
- How do I generate a list of all MHC alleles that have been reported to present epitopes from an organism of interest? Can I select a specific host?
- If I want to drill down into the data presented by the Search Result Summary, what is the best approach?
- How do I add different elements or criteria to my query?
- Is it possible to generate a list of epitopes identified as cross-reactive against different strains of the same species? Can I look at reactivity across genera?
- How do I generate data for all epitopes that have been associated with in vitro correlates of protection (virus neutralization, CTL, inhibition of infectivity, etc.)? Can I search by the type of assay?
- How do I generate data for all epitopes that have been identified as protective in vivo (epitope used to immunize prior to live challenge) against the organism of interest?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is the rate limit for requesting information from the API (e.g. I can make X requests per second/minute)?
- I have a particular MHC class I or II allele for which I want to run binding predictions but it does not show up on the list. How can I make such predictions?
- Why does the MHC class II binding prediction operate only on 15-mers?
- What thresholds (cut-offs) should I use for MHC class I and II binding predictions
- Why do I get an error message when I run the class I or II binding tools?
