properties and further adaptation for clinical use is a real challenge, once that literature inthis specific field is recent and widely scarce. In order to support and improve theknowledge of immunomodulatory peptides, a novel and original IMMUNOPEPdbimmunomodulatory peptide database was developed and here presented.MethodologyTo ensure the accuracy of the data deposits, all sequences were carefully analyzed such asthe correct function assigned in databank, the presence of signal peptide in a Signal PeptideDatabase (SPdb) and also redundancy degree. IMMUNOPEPdb was developed with PHP(Hypertext Preprocessor) and relational database management system (RDBMS), MySQL,based on SQL (Structured Query Language). Database is monthly update by a semiautomaticprocedure.Results and DiscussionIn Figure 1 can be viewed website organization. At date, host information detailed of 117entries in which (Table 1).Table 1. Major groups of organisms with sequences of peptides deposited inimmunomodulatory peptide database.Information about peptides may be obtained by using keywords such as peptide name andmolecular weight or by submission of a sequence previously determined as an immunomodulatorypeptide in <strong>com</strong>mon databanks. Due to the capability of these peptides inmodulating innate immunity, IMMUNOPEPdb can be a powerful tool to development of anew therapeutic strategy <strong>com</strong>bating infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders.Due to the capability of these peptides in modulating innate immunity,IMMUNOPEPdb can be a powerful tool to development of a new therapeutic strategy in<strong>com</strong>bating infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders.AcknowledgmentsWe thank CAPES (Brazilian Council for Graduate Studies), CNPq (Brazilian Council for Science andTechnology), and Catholic University of Brasília, Federal University of Juiz de Fora.313
