Immuno-informatics

Immuno-informatics is the study of molecules of the immune system by using informatics techniques. It helps in efficient and effective predictions of immunogenicity. This is done at the level of epitopes, subunit vaccines, or weakend or inactive pathogens. Immunogenicity is the ability of the pathogen or a part or molecule of pathogen to induce specific immune response when first exposed to surveillance by the immune system.
