IEDB
A database and prediction resource containing 7.45 million B-cell and T-cell immune epitopes for immunology workflows.
What IEDB is
IEDB is an interaction database and prediction resource developed for immunology workflows. It compiles records of B-cell and T-cell immune epitopes, which are molecular targets recognised by the adaptive immune system.
The platform holds 7.45 million epitopes, providing reference data and prediction capabilities to assist researchers in immunological studies.

Questions
Can I search IEDB without writing code?
IEDB is catalogued here but not yet queried live, so the agent can point you to it but cannot search it for you yet.
Can I reuse data from IEDB?
IEDB publishes its own terms of use; read them on https://www.iedb.org before reusing its records.
What records are held in this database?
The database holds B-cell and T-cell immune epitope records.
How large is the collection?
The resource contains 7.45 million epitopes.
Does the platform offer tools in addition to data storage?
Yes, it operates as both an epitope database and a prediction resource.
