Objective: Zea m1 is one of the most common aeroallergens, causing allergy. This pollen allergen, present in maize, is responsible for type I hypersensitivity reaction. Despite having available X ray crystal structure of this pollen allergen, no definite vaccine has been developed for allergic disorder in humans. Method: In our present study, an epitope-based peptide vaccine against Zea m 1 pollen
Computer science plays a major role in image segmentation and image processing applications.
