Mature Epitope Density (MED) 1.0 Server
MED is a server to predict target proteins for reverse vaccinology according to the number of 9-mer epitopes in the mature protein portion. It makes predictions over amino acid sequences from prokaryotic organisms running the predictors programs SurfG+, TMHMM, and NetMHC.
