Abstract
Summary: MAPPP is a tool for prediction of possible antigenic peptides presented on the cell surface by MHC class I complexes (MHC-I) to CD8 positive T-lymphocytes as immunodominant epitopes. It combines existing predictions of proteasomal cleavage of antigenic proteins to peptides and subsequent peptide anchoring to MHC-I molecules.
