Abstract
It was previously reported that the antigenic determinants of a protein can be delineated by examining the average local hydrophilicity values along the peptide chain. This method was used to predict the strong antigenic determinants of 2 proteins, seminalplasmin and RNase, of known sequence. In the former case, the N-terminal segment 1-14 and in the latter case the segments 27-38 and 80-86, were predicted to possess the antigenic determinants of the 2 proteins. Experimental verification already exists for the former case.
