B-cell epitopes are vital in designing peptide-based vaccine, in diseases diagnosis and also for allergy research. This practical importance creates a need for an integrated source of information about them. We developed a databaseBcipep, of experimentally determined B-cell epitopes of antigenic proteins. This is a curated database where detailed information about the epitopes are collected and compiled from published literature and existing databases. It covers a wide range of pathogenic organisms like virus, bacteria, protozoa and fungi. Each entry in database provides full information about a B-cell epitope that includes amino acid sequences, source of the antigenic protein, immunogenicity, model organism and antibody generation/neutralization test. The database have number of web tools and user friendly web interface which allows user to perform various tasks; i) keyword search on any field; ii) mapping of known peptides (B-cell epitope) on a given antigen sequence; iii) BLAST search etc. It also provides links to various databases such as GenBank, PDB, SWISS-PROT and MHCBN for further detailed information about epitopes. The database now contains 2700 entries including 1350 epitopes in the non-redundant datasets
