Searching Haptens, Carrier Proteins, and Anti-Hapten Antibodies
| Abstract |
|
|
Haptens are small molecules that are usually nonimmunogenic unless coupled to some carrier proteins. The generation of anti-hapten
antibodies is important for the development of immunodiagnostics and therapeutics. Recently, our group has developed a database
called HaptenDB, which provides comprehensive information about 1,087 haptens. In this chapter, we describe following web
tools integrated in HaptenDB: (i) keyword search facility allows search on major fields, (ii) browsing service, to display
all haptens, carrier proteins and antibodies, and (iii) structure similarity search, which allows the users to search their
structure against hapten structures.
