Conclusion
The IEDB has made significant enhancements to its search interface and data quality, ensuring it remains a key resource for immune epitope data.
Supporting Evidence
- The IEDB has cataloged over 6.8 million assays and 1.6 million immune epitopes from more than 25,000 publications.
- The database includes data related to infectious, allergic, autoimmune, and transplant diseases.
- User-directed updates have improved the search interface and data export capabilities.
- The IEDB performs a new query of PubMed every two weeks to maintain up-to-date information.
Takeaway
The Immune Epitope Database helps scientists find information about immune responses by organizing data from many studies into one easy-to-use place.
Methodology
The IEDB team manually curates data from the literature into a structured format, capturing user-directed updates and enhancing data quality.
