#Protegen contains curated information about protective antigens that are able to stimulate the production of antibodies and/or cell mediated immunity against specific pathogens. [[http://www.violinet.org/protegen/intro.php Introduction]]
# This database has allowed for the "storage, annotation, comparison, and analysis of 854 protective antigens for 200 pathogens, including more than 50 protective antigens for cancer and allergy (Yang, Sayers, Xiang, He 2010).
