Web-based design and evaluation of T-cell vaccine candidates (2008)

Thurmond, James, Yoon, Hyejin, Kuiken, Carla, Yusim, Karina, Perkins, Simon, Theiler, James, ...

Summary: We present a suite of on-line tools to design candidate vaccine proteins, and to assess antigen potential, using coverage of k-mers (as proxies for potential T-cell epitopes) as a metric....

The hepatitis C sequence database in Los Alamos (2008)

Kuiken, Carla, Hraber, Peter, Thurmond, James, Yusim, Karina

Increased Sequence Diversity Coverage Improves Detection of HIV-Specific T Cell Responses (2007)

Frahm, Nicole, Kaufmann, Daniel E., Yusim, Karina, Muldoon, Mark, Kesmir, Can, Linde, Caitlyn H., ...

The accurate identification of HIV-specific T cell responses is important for determining the relationship between immune response, viral control, and disease progression. HIV-specific immune...

Immunoinformatics Comes of Age (2006)

Bette Korber, Montiago LaBute, Karina Yusim

With the burgeoning immunological data in the scientific literature, scientists must increasingly rely on Internet resources to inform and enhance their work. Here we provide a brief overview of the...

Yusim, Karina, Peters, Martine, Pybus, Oliver, Bhattacharya, Tanmoy, Delaporte, Eric, Mulanaga, Claire, ...

In earlier work, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) sequences were analysed to estimate the timing of the ancestral sequence of the main group of HIV-1, the virus that is responsible for the...

Evolutionary and immunological implications of contemporary HIV-1 variation (2001)

Korber, Bette, Gaschen, Brian, Yusim, Karina, Thakallapally, Rama, Kesmir, Can, Detours, Vincent
