2003 AUG 20 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A review of databases and data mining for computational vaccinology has been published recently.
"Drugs and vaccines are keys to the effective fight against disease. While the pharmaceutical industry has developed an awesome array of real and virtual approaches to rational drug discovery, the complexity of the immune system hampers attempts to design and develop vaccines in a rational manner," scientists writing in the journal Current Opinion in Drug Discovery & Development report.
"The goal of immunoinformatics (the application of informatics techniques to immunological macromolecules), an emergent sub-discipline of bioinformatics, is to develop computational vaccinology as a potent tool in the quest for new vaccines," stated Darren R. Flower at the Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research in UK. "Databases and data mining, the two principal ...
