We applied computational biology to identify the linear amino acid sequence recognized by a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against the full length HPV 16 E7 oncoprotein. Computer-assisted search for the epitopic peptide used two parameters: the capability of E7 peptides to bind to MHC class II molecules, and the similarity level of the oncoprotein sequence to the mouse proteome. We report that anti-E7 mAb recognized the peptide having both high binding potential to MHC II molecules and low level of molecular mimicry to mouse proteome. Peptide ability to bind to MHC II molecules appears a necessary but not sufficient condition to determine peptide immunodominance, by needing to be supported by a low degree of peptide, similarity to the host's proteome.
