Abstract
This invention relates to a novel approach for identification of T-cell epitopes, that give rise to an immune reaction in a living host. By means of this novel method biological compounds can be generated which have a no or at least a reduced immunogenicity when exposed to the immune system of a given species and compared with the relevant non-modified entity. Thus the invention relates also to novel biological molecules, especially proteins and antibodies, obtained by the method according to the invention.
