Performance of BLAST-based discrimination of B and non-B cell epitopes.

Negative dataset	% SE	% SP	% ACC	MCC
RANDPEP	63.49 ± 0.43	99.15 ± 0.15	81.32 ± 0.20	0.67 ± 0.01
IEDBNB	63.49 ± 0.43	81.59 ± 0.37	72.54 ± 0.27	0.46 ± 0.01

Table reports the sensitivity (% SE), specificity (% SP), accuracy (% ACC), and Matthew’s correlation coefficient (MMC) of BLAST-based discrimination of B cell epitopes in BEPIBD from non-B cell epitopes included in the RANDPEP and IEDBNB datasets. Values were obtained in tenfold cross-validation experiments.
