Abstract

Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a pivotal role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. In the past, a number of studies reported that high level of IL6 promotes the proliferation of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients. Thus, it is extremely important to identify and remove the antigenic regions from a therapeutic protein or vaccine candidate that may induce IL6-associated immunotoxicity. In order to overcome this challenge, our group has developed a computational tool, IL6pred, for discovering IL6-inducing peptides in a vaccine candidate. The aim of this chapter is to describe the potential applications and methodology of IL6pred. It sheds light on the prediction, designing, and scanning modules of IL6pred webserver and standalone package ( https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/il6pred/ ).
