Objective:To predict the secondary structure and the B cell epitope for the extracellular domain of the follicle stimulating hormone receptor(FSHR).Methods:The secondary structure and surface properties of the extracellular domain of FSHR
such as physical and chemical properties
hydrophilicity
accessibility
antigenicity and plasticity
were analyzed by a variety of methods.The peptide of the epitopes was synthesized and used for coating streptavidin plate.The immunogenicity of the peptides was determined.Results:Many distinct antigenic epitopes in the extracellular domain of FSHR were identified by computation and online prediction
the possible location of which is in the regions of 17~34、42~44、116~122、142~147、179~193、239~241、266~270、279~282、288~307.Synthesized peptides have high specificity to the polyclonal antiboby.Conclusion:The B cell epitope for the extracellular domain of FSHR is successfully predicted.
